Planning for retirement has never been more important, especially as people are much healthier, active and expect to live far longer than ever before.

Whatever your age or stage in your career, it is important that you start planning early to create the income that’s needed to support your desired retirement lifestyle; giving you the confidence that once you do reach retirement, you and your family will have enough to live comfortably.

This free event delivered by Paula Gahan, independent financial advisor at Haworths Financial Services, will focus on how best to plan your savings and the common financial concerns that people face when reaching and during retirement, such as unexpected medical expenses.

The session also will cover:

• What is a pension and how do they work
• Understanding your workplace pension
• Maximising your savings through good financial planning
• Reviewing your pension plan(s)
• Pension contribution tax relief
• Navigating the new freedoms to take your pension
• State Pension changes
• Reaching your retirement goals

It is never too early to start retirement planning, so sign up for your free place to get your finances on track and lay the foundations to reaching your retirement goals.
