RETIREMENT PACKS FOR MEMBERS
The Fund produces packs of information for members to use in both planning for, and during, their retirement. If you are over age 58 and would like some helpful literature, you can request a 'Retirement Pack' from your Pension Liaison Officer, who is normally based in either your Finance or Personnel department.We hope that you will find this pack useful in your preparations for retirement - it contains guides and forms that are relevant to a very important time of life, and we at the Fund endeavour to help you as much as possible.
