Life in retirement
This page provides some useful links to organisations that may be able to provide guidance to help you manage your income in retirement, and also those that promote mental, physical and health wellbeing in retirement.
GOV.UK

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

MoneyHelper

The Pension Tracing Service
GOV.UK: Pension Tracing Service
If you have lost touch with previous pensions, you can use the Government's pension tracing service to try to find them.
The Pensions Ombudsman (TPO)
If you have an issue with your Roche pension you should first contact the Roche team at Willis Towers Watson. Their details can be found on the Contact us page, where you can also find out more about making a complaint. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of an internal dispute procedure, TPO has the power to investigate and determine any complaints and disputes of fact or law relating to company pension schemes.
Please note that TPO will expect you to have gone through the Roche Pension Fund’s internal dispute procedure before this stage.
The Pensions Regulator
www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk
The Regulator oversees the running of pension schemes in the UK and can step in where trustees, employers or professional advisers have failed in their duties.
It’s important to keep your mind and your body active during retirement. Here are some links to organisations that promote health and wellbeing in retirement. (Please note, the Trustee does not endorse any of these websites and accepts no responsibility for any of the information provided by them.)
