Pension Awareness Day 2026

The annual event marks the start of Pensions Awareness Week, which adopts a new theme each year. Pensions Awareness Day delves into important areas within the pensions sphere, with a range of educational resources available.

This year, Pensions Awareness Day will encourage savers to consider if they are on track for the retirement they want. By looking at how much is already saved within pension pots and comparing to how much retirement is estimated to cost, savers can assess whether their pension pot is shaping up to be enough. This also means that action can be taken to remedy any expected shortfalls that might be ahead. To view the timetable of live shows or access helpful resources, click here.
