A week of expert sessions, workplace visits and one-to-one consultations to get Ireland talking about retirement. Book a free consultation with the team and get your questions answered.
Retirement is one of the biggest financial decisions people will ever make.
Yet most employees couldn't tell you how much income they are on track to have in retirement, whether they're saving enough, or what actions they could take to improve their future.
About the campaign
Pensions Awareness Week is an initiative to raise awareness in Ireland about retirement planning and to help people take charge of their long-term savings. Held every September, the roadshow has grown over seven years: we have travelled around Ireland, run seminars and one-to-one sessions, spoken up in the media and curated content to help you learn about pensions.
Whether you are starting a pension, on the journey, or approaching retirement, there is something here for you. And if you are responsible for pensions in your organisation, or work in the industry, there are events designed with you in mind.

Simply put, a pension is a savings fund with your name on it, used to pay for your retirement. Ideally, you shouldn’t access it until at least the age of 60.
Your money is invested on your behalf by a pension provider, typically into company shares, bonds and property through an investment fund, with the goal of long-term growth.
