Forces Pension Society Roadshow Programme

Resettlement briefings

More members make us more effective. And you can help by arranging a Unit Brief.

The pension needs of serving and retired members of the Forces and their families are as great today as they ever were in the 60 year history of FPS.

And the efforts we make in campaigning against inequities and for improving pension rights need to be re-doubled against today’s economic pressures.

As a not-for-profit organisation, our funding comes primarily from Members’ subscriptions. It follows that, as we strive to achieve more for our Members, we must continue to increase our membership base.

You can help us in two ways – by introducing potential new members to us and by using your contacts to help us arrange unit briefings. In 2008 we introduced a new resource enabling us to deliver group briefings nationwide (and overseas). These events last for approximately 45 minutes and describe our work and its value to serving and retired members of the Armed Forces and their dependants. The feedback we receive is very positive and we regularly hear that the brief should be given to all ranks as well as their dependants.

We are giving over 130 briefs across all three Services in the UK and overseas during 2011 and are constantly adding more. We’d like to hear from you with any suggestions for creating new presentation opportunities.

Please contact Donald Kirkpatrick on +44 (0)7899 805 929 or +44 (0) 20 7582 1070 or email donaldk@forpen.co.uk who will be delighted arrange a brief.
