Saving for the future is high priority for Brits, Pension Geeks finds

More than three in five people (62%) have said that saving for the future and retirement is currently a high priority for them, a survey by Pension Geeks has found.

The survey of over 7,000 adults was part of Pension Geeks’ pension awareness campaign, which begins on 11 September and runs until 15 September.

This year is the tenth anniversary of the campaign and is designed to unite experts, bring people together and get them to think about what their retirement means to them whilst taking control of their pensions.

Workplaces and members of the public will be able to view three, 45 minute live webinars a day throughout the week, covering everything from some of the broader topics to more of the particular pension intricacies, all hosted online via the pension awareness live streaming platform.

The full schedule is available online and spaces can be booked on the pension awareness website. Audience members will also be able to interact with the experts and put their questions to the panels, which are set to include ex-pensions minister Sir Steve Webb, The Money and Pensions Service and numerous providers coming together to help people within the UK make sense of their pensions and money.

Co-founder of the pension awareness campaign, Jonathan Bland, said: “We’ve been living through some turbulent financial times, and have seen soaring costs in pretty much every aspect of our lives, but even in the face of the cost of living crisis, our recent findings show our viewers still find saving for their pension a priority.

“We think that serves as a reminder that it’s so important to keep going. To keep delivering pension awareness. To be a place where we can provide straight answers to tough questions and topics. To help people. To inspire them to take control and make sure that their money is working as hard as it can for them.”
