home & garden

  • Getting greener
    Getting greener tackles the issues of climate change, global warming, and where we fit into the equation. It explains what small things we can do, and how they make an impact upon the general situation. This factsheet is a practical, interesting and dynamic guide to recycling, organic food, carbon footprints and saving energy: just the thing to get you kick-started.
  • Understanding housing options
    Retirement can give you that long-hoped-for opportunity to move house. For example, you may have been tied to the same area for years because of your commute to work; now, the world is opening up and you could live anywhere.
  • Buying a car
    Choosing and looking after four wheels

travel

  • Retiring abroad
    Retiring abroad is fast becoming a very popular option for many of us. At the moment, one in eight of us are making the move, according to Alliance and Leicester and the Centre of Future Studies - and they predict that the number of movers will rise to one in five by 2020.
  • Driving abroad
    What you need to know about driving on foreign soil

Life choices

  • Getting greener
    Getting greener tackles the issues of climate change, global warming, and where we fit into the equation. It explains what small things we can do, and how they make an impact upon the general situation. This factsheet is a practical, interesting and dynamic guide to recycling, organic food, carbon footprints and saving energy: just the thing to get you kick-started.
  • Major life changes
    Everyone goes through major changes in their life. Some are good, such as becoming a grandparent for the first time. But whether bad, good or in between, they can often be seen later as staging posts where paths appeared in new directions. Yet some of these changes, even if difficult at the time, can lead to improvements. Others can at least be eased if you take the right action.
  • Finding a job
    If you're over 50 and looking for work, it needn't be a choice between self-employment and filling supermarket shelves. Our factsheet details the changes you need to know about, and illustrates, through case studies and statistics, how you can improve your chances of finding the job you want.

Health & wellbeing

  • Worried about a loved one
    Own home or care home, look at our range of care suggestions
  • Staying healthy
    Some of us - men in particular - are kinder to our cars than our bodies. Maybe it's because the consequences of not checking the oil level are noticeable and expensive. But while you can get another car...
  • Worried about drugs and alcohol?
    A night out experimenting with illegal substances could be a one-off, but if someone we know is seriously abusing drugs or alcohol and they are finding it hard to cope without taking them, then it is difficult to know how best to help them.

money & legal

  • Using an independent financial adviser
    Why consult a financial adviser? There could be several reasons. Maybe you have a lot of money you want to invest or you have a specific financial issue to resolve
  • Savings and investments
    One common mistake that people tend to make with their savings and investments is to keep all their money in one or two places, instead of spreading the risk by putting money into different accounts and products. So where should you put your money? In this factsheet, we look at all your options and illustrate each one with sensible summaries and case studies.
  • Stopping work
    One in eleven pensioners is currently working but experts believe that this number will gradually increase. In 2006 two major boosts are occurring to encourage people who want to work longer. First, employees can now draw a pension and a salary simultaneously from the same employer. Second, from 1 October, new anti-age discrimination rules take effect in the workplace. This factsheet considers your options and illustrates, through top tips and case studies, when you might be in a position to start planning

prepare for retirement

  • Adjusting to retirement
    While you may not be about to retire in the next few years, the decisions you make now can shape your future, and it's worth considering your options. This factsheet gives you the lowdown on the issues you need to consider when making your decisions, supplies details of other organisations that can help and illustrates, through a case study, how you can control your own destiny...
  • Your relationships
    Retirement brings a complete change in how we live our lives: from spending the majority of our time at work and away from our homes, we're suddenly in a situation where we see our family all the time. Here are some questions to ask yourself about the impact retirement may have on you and your relationships, particularly with your partner.
  • Retiring abroad
    Retiring abroad is fast becoming a very popular option for many of us. At the moment, one in eight of us are making the move, according to Alliance and Leicester and the Centre of Future Studies - and they predict that the number of movers will rise to one in five by 2020.
