News updates

Organisations from across the pensions industry are joining forces this autumn for Pension Engagement Season - a nation-wide campaign that will encourage savers to pay more attention to their pension planning and financial wellbeing.

A series of activities will take place throughout the season. It kicks off with Pension Awareness Week, which takes place between 31 October and 4 November, followed by National Pensions Tracing Day on 30 October and Talk Money Week, from 7-11 November.

During Pension Awareness Week, you can book onto a range of free online live shows on various pension topics.

The campaign will also be running on social media so make sure you follow #PensionAttention for handy tips and information on your pensions, plus updates on pensions-related topics and events.
