Pensions Awareness

About this campaign

Our aim is to get members talking about pensions and making plans for their retirement, even if that is many years ahead.

How to support this campaign

Many reps have run Pensions Awareness Days to promote the issue and give out information to members.

You don't have to be pensions experts to run one of these days!

Excellent leaflets, booklets and posters are available from Usdaw’s experts in the Pensions Section at Head Office.

PAD in a bag

We have adapted our Pensions Awareness Day materials to make it easier for you to hold a campaign day. Now you can just put the relevant materials in one of our paper bags and hand them out!

Are you a rep looking for inspiration?

How this helps you

The campaign gives members and reps the knowledge to help them make informed decisions about their future. It can also be a great way of ‘breaking the ice’, which can in turn help recruit new members.

What our reps say

"I would recommend any rep supporting an Usdaw Pensions Awareness Day in their workplace. It is a fantastic way of raising pension awareness and a valuable recruitment tool – we recruited 20 new members for the Union!"

"The merchandise and information provided was simple and clear to put across, reps felt confident in giving the information and this was evident in the feedback from the colleagues."

"People were taking things away to look at and it made them actually think about their pensions."

 

Rachel Margetson, Usdaw Rep

"Since the Pension Awareness Days more employees have requested pension statements, and the younger generation within the stores have talked about pensions through word of mouth."
