Pension Awareness Live Events for Active Members (9-12 September 2024)
Submitted by Administrator on August 20, 2024 - 7:44am
In support of the Pension Awareness Week 2024 [1] campaign, Merseyside Pension Fund will be hosting a series of 'Live' online events tor active, deferred and eligible non-members of the LGPS in September.
These events aim to boost our members' understanding of, and engagement with their local government pension.
It comes in response to long-running concerns about pension engagement, as research shows that only 20% of people are confident they have saved enough for retirement and over half of the public struggle to find information about their pensions.
Fund presenters will deliver a number of live events between Monday 9th and Thursday 12th September 2024:
These online events will be delivered through Microsoft Teams, and active and eligible non-members are invited to book their places:
