Deciding to retire is a big decision.
Member Nominated Director (MND) ballot is now open
In January, we were seeking passionate and committed individuals from the active membership to join our Trustee Board, with MND vacancies to fill from April 2025.
Following a positive response, it's now time for you to have your say and vote for the candidate that best represents your views and interests.
The ballot period is open until 24 March 2025, and you'll be asked to vote online or by post. But don't worry, Civica Election Services are sending you a pack full of details including your ballot paper in the post.
In the meantime, if you'd like to see how you can play your part with voting, we've got more information below.

Once you’ve made that important choice, you need to know what to do to get your income for life and lump sum.
When you decide to retire from the Collective Plan, you’ll get your one-off lump sum and you’ll start to get your income for life, paid monthly, too.
Every year, we’ll let you know whether your income for life for the next 12 months will go up or down or stay the same.
This section of the website tells you what you need to do when you want to retire, how to find out what you’ll get from the Collective Plan and give you an overview of how your lump sum and income for life will be taxed.
