Check out your video library

In your video library, you’ll find a range of informative videos to help you get to grips with your pension, all in one place.

The videos break down complex pension topics into bite-size chunks to make them easy to tackle. All are around 5 minutes long, so if half-time lasts 15 minutes, you could watch 3 videos and have time to grab a coffee before the game restarts.

You’ll find videos on a range of pension-related topics, including:

• How to use your member website
• Planning for retirement
• Saving more for life after work
• Tax and how it might affect your pension
• New members of the Fund

If you don’t have time to watch all of the videos at once, you can pause, play and replay them at your leisure. So you don’t need to worry about missing the match!

Just 10 minutes, that’s all it takes to keep up with your retirement planning. Try it for yourself. The ball’s in your court!
