Emotionally Preparing for Retirement
Emily Willey, Service Manager, Age UK Bexley
Emily from Age UK Bexley will be talking about how to mentally plan for retirement and the ways in which you may wish to spend your time.
Retirement is a time to do what you like and when you like! But most retirees have found it useful to keep some sense of routine and social network through finding new hobbies, learning new skills and volunteering in their community.
During this session, guidance on where to find different opportunities in Bexley will be provided and practical advice given from those who have already retired.
