Retired community
Our support extends into retirement for every member of the UK's fire services community, helping you to live happier and healthier throughout your lives. Find out more on how we could support you, as well as ways you can remain socially connected with each other.
Support that lasts a lifetime
Just because your career in the fire service has come to an end, it doesn't mean the support available to you ends too. We're there for you, for life. Below are some of the ways we can help you as you transition into retirement, and throughout the years that follow.
How we can help you
You've spent your career helping others, so now we're here to help you. Whether it's assisting with your health, helping you stay socially connected or signposting you to wellbeing resources to keep you healthy, we're here to help you lead a happy retirement.
Online Pre-Retirement Workshops
Our 2-hour online workshops are designed to support you in making the most of your retirement by managing common feelings of changes to identity after retirement and planning for health and wellbeing.
