Gloucestershire Holds Financial Literacy Event

Union Learning Reps in Gloucestershire Amal have held a Financial Literacy Learning Event in Delivery Offices across the branch area in the run-up to Christmas 2024.

Members had an opportunity to learn more about their many Royal Mail pensions including the new Collective Plan that came in in October 2024 along with the tax relief that they can claim for washing their uniform.

There was also information about the Academy of Money and the Money Manual (by consumer champion and founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, Martin Lewis), Credit Unions, Friendly Societies, and The Rowland Hill Fund.

The event was a great success with hundreds of people engaging with the event. Particularly popular was information about the Lump Sum Booster AVC (Addition Voluntarily Contribution), part of the new pension.

Hopefully members were able to make some financially beneficial decisions to start 2025 with.
