Financial Aspects of Resettlement - All Ranks
2026-05-13 09:00 - 14:30 | Rosyth
Financial Aspects of Resettlement Workshops provide insight and guidance to help with your transition into civilian life

The Financial Aspects of Resettlement (FAR) brief is a single day course designed to help you access financial awareness and long-term planning information, tax, pensions and benefits advice.
The FAR brief is split into two parts.
First, a comprehensive pension brief is provided by the Forces Pension Society that will help you learn more about your Armed Forces Pension. The brief will help you navigate through the implications of your pension, empowering you to make better informed decisions for your future.
The second part of the brief is delivered by Lester Brunt Wealth Management (LBWM), an appointed representative of St James’s Place Wealth Management PLC. Their financial advisers will take you through a range of financial planning advice to find the best outcomes for you and your family. This includes guidance on estates, mortgages, trusts and more.
You are entitled to bring a partner to the FAR brief sessions.

Pension topics covered include:

An overview of each pension scheme
Medical awards
Commutation
Pen Form 1 completion and more

The financial awareness presentation will cover:

All aspects of financial planning
Give ample time for questions
All consultations are without obligation

The whole briefing is scheduled to last approximately 4 hours, with a short break in-between the two presentations.

Society AGM and 80th Anniversary Celebration
2026-06-03 12:00 - 17:00 | Tower of London
Mark your calendars: on Wednesday 3 June 2026, we’ll be returning to the iconic Tower of London for a truly special occasion – our 2026 Annual General Meeting and the Society’s 80th Anniversary celebration!
This milestone event is your chance to be part of something memorable. Join fellow members as we celebrate eight decades of the Society, express our heartfelt thanks for your continued support, and look ahead to an exciting future together.
Alongside the celebrations, the AGM offers a valuable opportunity to hear about the Society’s progress, connect directly with our team, and meet key stakeholders and affinity partners. Most importantly, this is your platform to have your say, and help shape the future of the Society.
In the words of our Chief Executive Neil Marshall…
“For 80 years, the Forces Pension Society has remained steadfast in its commitment to securing fair pension rights for service members and veterans. Its vision aligns with the principles of duty, fairness, and trust that military service exemplifies.
The creation of the Society in 1946 was a crucial step in addressing the inequalities and uncertainties surrounding military pensions, ensuring that those who had given so much for their country and the bereaved were appropriately supported in financial terms to live a dignified retirement.
The Society remains as vital as ever. With private and public sector pensions continuing to evolve, new challenges arise that require deep subject matter expertise, corporate memory, credibility and strength in membership numbers to help exert influence across government and shape policy deliberations.
80 years on, the legacy of those who first formed the Society endures in every campaign, every positive outcome, and every service member who receives the pension they deserve. We hope those who formed the Society 80 years ago would recognise and reflect positively on the Society they would see today.”
