Pensions Awareness Week 2020
Today is Pensions Awareness Day. Throughout Pensions Awareness Week (14-18 September), a series of webinars, videos and other useful resources will be shared to raise awareness of pensions.
Anthony Arter, Pensions Ombudsman said:
“This is a fantastic opportunity for people to learn more about their pension and to help them plan for their retirement.
Pensions can be confusing. The resources available during Pensions Awareness Week can help people to get a clearer understanding of their financial position and the options available to them. It is also vital that they are ‘scams aware’ and access proper help and guidance if they are thinking about transferring their lifetime pension savings.”
