Retirement seminars: 2024 dates announced

24 October 2023

West Midlands Police Federation hosts seminars to help members navigate their way through retirement, and has just announced dates for 2024.

The one-day sessions will cover a range of topics including how to retire, the police pension schemes, taxation and the state pension.

They will explore next steps such as CV writing, starting a business, and police officers’ transferable skills.

The seminars will also look at investments and financial planning, asset protection and post-retirement schemes for police officers, such as the West Midlands Police Benevolent Fund.

They’re aimed at members who are within three years of finishing their service and will be held in person at the Federation offices at Guardians House in Coventry Road, Sheldon.

The final session of this year will take place on 21 December.

The dates for next year are: 11 January, 22 February, and 14 March, followed by 11 April, 16 May and 13 June. They continue on 11 July, 15 August, and 12 September, and then on 17 October, 14 November and 12 December.

Members are encouraged to let the branch know as soon as possible if they’d like to attend by emailing westmidlandspf@polfed.org
