Retirement Explorers is an opportunity to meet with others like you who are approaching retirement or are already retired, to explore what retirement means, to gain valuable insights from others experiencing the same questions and to clarify your own thoughts about how you will manage your transition.

Here you can connect with others, hear what others are thinking, share experience and get some useful input from experts in the field.

Whether you plan to retire fully or to carry on working in some way, this next phase of your life can be richly fulfilling, and Retirement Explorers can help you to make a successful transition to your new life.
