“We welcome the Get Britain Pension Ready campaign to boost retirement literacy and planning. Pensioner poverty has been increasing since 2012 and is at its highest level since 2008 [...] We must ensure that no one reaches retirement unsupported and unaware of their options when it comes to their pension.”

Joanna Elson CBE, Chief Executive at Independent Age

“Retirement should be something to look forward to, but instead too many people feel anxious or overwhelmed. We want to help.”

Sarah Lloyd, CEO at Annuity Ready

Who is Get Britain Pension Ready?

The campaign is led by Annuity Ready, an independently run, non-advised lifetime annuity comparison service. Annuity Ready is operated by Investment Discounts On Line Ltd and is part of the Legal & General Group.

We believe that no one, from any background, should get left behind when it comes to understanding their options for retirement.

We work with pension companies, annuity providers and the British public every day and our service was created in response to the government encouraging pension providers to be more transparent. This means we're well-placed to help Get Britain Pension Ready by providing free online resources, signposting to guidance, and campaigning for improved pension literacy.
