Armed Forces Pension Awareness Week 2025

Your pension plays a crucial role in securing your future financial stability, and we believe there is always more you can do to better understand it’s value.

Pension Awareness week is the perfect opportunity to help raise awareness of the importance of your pension, so ultimately you can improve your long-term financial wellbeing from which to launch your second career, and lay the foundations for a dignified retirement.

In addition to raising awareness among those currently serving who may not have yet considered the implications of their pension choices, our aim is also to reach out to individuals in the resettlement process/service leavers, veterans, and families in the military community, ensuring they are equipped with the information needed to make informed decisions for a brighter financial future.

This year’s Armed Forces Pensions Awareness campaign will run 8-12 September.

During this year’s campaign we’ll be including online myth busting, FAQs, and helpful tips whether you be serving (including reserves), or retired and there will be something for military families. We will also be giving two live presentations for the Ministry of Defence on the 9 & 11 September.

Here’s the full programme:
