Lost contact with a pension provider? Tracking down an old pension could provide you with extra income and or a lump sum. There are an estimated 3.3 million unclaimed pensions in the UK, worth £31.1 billion, according to research by the Pension Policy Institute (PPI). That's nearly £9,500 per pension, so it's worth taking the time to track down any past pension you may have forgotten about.

Read our Money Matters Specialist's blog to find out the three things you can do to help you find your lost pensions: https://www.aspire.org.uk/blog/past-pension-provider

Would you like to improve NHS care for people with SCI in London?

London Spinal Cord Injury Network is an NHS team that is coordinating work across hospitals, SCI Centres, rehabilitation units, SCI charities, nursing homes, GPs and with patients and their families. The Network needs patients and carers of all backgrounds and skills to help plan, deliver and evaluate spinal cord injury services across London. This could be giving opinions on what’s working or what isn’t, developing resources with NHS staff, or influencing NHS improvement projects across London.
