About Pension Awareness Week

Pension Awareness Week (PAW) is an opportunity to raise awareness of pensions and help members to plan for their financial future.  

This year, PAW will take place from Monday 21 to Friday 25 November.

PAW is designed to raise awareness of the Civil Service Pension scheme and help members to value and understand their pension and plan for their retirement. PAW has something for everyone - and with free  webinars, discussion, demonstrations and signposting to information and personalised support, it’s a great way for members to pay more attention to their pension.

As part of PAW, each day members are invited to take part in a live pensions webinar. The themes of Live@Lunch sessions are listed below. To find out more about each one, click the link. 

Webinars will start at 12pm each day and last for sixty minutes. Each one will be hosted by pension experts from the Scheme Manager and Scheme Administrator.

Due to popular demand, we are also holding repeat sessions for Days 1, 2 and 4 at 3pm on their respective dates – Monday 21, Tuesday 22 and Thursday 24 November. To find out more, click on the links below:

Please note: any existing bookings for Pension Awareness Week made prior to the postponement are still valid. However, if members are no longer able to attend, we ask that they cancel their booking to free up space for others.
