When you retire, a lot of focus is placed on ensuring you’ll have enough money to enjoy a comfortable retirement. Whilst this is very important, and you should do everything you can to prepare financially, you should also invest some time into planning how you’ll spend your time and looking after your physical and mental wellbeing.

Age UK have lots of useful information on their website to help you plan your retirement, including a three-point plan to help you prepare emotionally. Visit the webpage here to get some advice.

Why not volunteer?

Retirement is an opportunity for you to use and develop your skills and experience you’ve picked up throughout your working life. Whether it’s working with young people, raising money for charity or transforming wastelands, volunteering is an excellent and rewarding way to spend your retirement. There is lots of information online about volunteering and how you can get involved. Visit the Volunteering Matters website for more information.
