Our Pension Sessions for Members Are Back for 2025!

This year, we’re doing things a bit differently. Our sessions will no longer be hybrid and will be either in person or online, making it easier for you to choose the format that works best for you. The booking form will clearly show the sessions available for each option, so booking your place has never been simpler.

Our in-person sessions will be delivered live from our events room at Oakwell House by our knowledgeable Customer Services team, covering a range of pensions topics for members of all ages and stages in your retirement journey.

We’re also hosting three online sessions in collaboration with Jenny, a finance specialist from the Money and Pensions Service, who offers a range of free tools and support. These include:

•  A special International Women’s Day (IWD) session in March for female members, exploring the gender pay and pensions gaps, as well as money and the menopause.

• Two sessions in the Autumn focusing on how to get the most out of your money and pension.

We will also be advertising sessions in two blocks, February to June and July to November, so if you can’t attend a session in the first half of the year lookout for new dates been added in the summer.
