Take a few minutes today to grow your pension tomorrow
A little time and care today could help your pension flourish for the future.
Why pension awareness matters
Pension Awareness Week began on 14 September 2026, offering employees the perfect opportunity to spend a few minutes focusing on one of their most valuable workplace benefits: their pension. For many people, pensions can feel complicated, distant or something to think about later. However, research released alongside the industry’s Pay Your Pension Some Attention campaign found that more than half of UK adults have never checked their pension balance, while many are unsure how their pension grows over time.
The Grow Your Pension campaign
This year’s Pay Your Pension Some Attention campaign is coordinated by Pensions UK and the Association of British Insurers and supported by organisations across the pensions industry. The 2026 theme, Grow Your Pension, encourages people to think of their pension in the same way they might nurture a garden. With regular care and attention, small actions today can help create a healthier financial future.
One helpful place to get started
The Pension Attention website provides a central starting point where employees can access links to a range of major pension providers and go directly to their provider to review their savings. If a provider is not listed, employees are encouraged to contact their employer or check previous pension communications. The site also connects people with tracing support, helping them look for pension pots from earlier jobs.
