Evaluation of the Pensions Education Fund

by Lorna Adams, Karen Bunt, Katie Carter and Arwenna Davies

The Pensions Education Fund (PEF) provides funding for not-for-profit organisations to deliver pensions information to people, mainly via the workplace (rather than directly by DWP or other agencies). PEF aims to particularly target those groups in the workforce that are regarded as most at risk of under-provision for retirement, such as women, young people and ethnic minority groups. This evaluation looks at the first two years of the Fund since its start in January 2006, focusing on the potential added value that a trusted third party can bring to the process of delivering pensions information and exploring providers' and employers' experiences of setting up and running PEF initiatives.
