Our Pension Sessions for Members Are Back for 2026!

Just like last year, our sessions are no longer 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 all members, exploring the gender pay and pensions gaps, as well as money and the impact menopause can have on this.

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

Here are our pension sessions for January to June 2026, have a look and book onto a session that suits you using the online form below. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, all our sessions are available to watch back online and we will release more dates in the summer for Autumn/Winter 2026.
