‘ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PENSIONS IN 20 MINUTES’: FINANCIAL PLANNING FIRM OFFERS FREE ONLINE WEBINARS AS PART OF PENSION AWARENESS WEEK
A leading firm of financial planners is giving people the chance to take a closer look at their retirement plans as part of Pension Awareness Week, which runs from 9th-13th September.
Lovewell Blake Financial Planning is offering a whistlestop 20 minute tour of pensions in a unique online webinar entitled ‘All You Need To Know About Pensions In 20 Minutes’, which takes place twice on Tuesday 10th September at 4.30pm and on Thursday 12th September at 1pm.
The free webinars, presented by pensions expert Jon Matchett, will cover planning your pension, knowing how much to save, the different types of pension, and entitlement to state pension.

Alongside the webinars, Lovewell Blake Financial Planning’s team is also offering free appointments with a qualified financial planner during Pension Awareness Week for people to go through their current pension situation, with guidance on how to plan, prepare and proceed with their pension arrangements.
“The full State Pension is currently £221.20 a week, although this figure does depend on whether you have a full national insurance record,” said Steve Metcalf, director at Lovewell Blake Financial Planning.
“Even those receiving the full State Pension may find that they need extra pension savings to give themselves the retirement lifestyle they desire. Many people accumulate several different pension pots during their working lives, with different providers, and often they don’t really understand the extent of their pension pot or what it will give them in retirement.
“It is never too early to start thinking about pensions, which is why we are offering these sessions during Pension Awareness Week to help people get to grips with their retirement futures.”
Among the questions which will be answered during the sessions are:
- How much money might my state pension be?
- Should I get financial advice before I retire?
- How much money do I need to retire?
- How long will my pension last?
- Should I buy an annuity?
- Can I take a lump sum from my pension?
The pension guidance sessions are available throughout Pension Awareness Week (13th-15th September). Appointments can be booked by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Pensionawarenessappts.
