Community pension fund project

Introduce Yourself

Hi, I’m Hayley and I’m a researcher at the Centre for Personal Financial Wellbeing at Aston University - you can read more about us here: Centre for Personal Financial Wellbeing (CPFW) | Aston University

I’m working on a project to design a community pension fund, which could be structured as a co-operative or as related to a co-operative, so first and foremost, we’re looking for groups who might be interested in being ‘pilot’ groups to discuss how something like this could work for them (including for groups of freelancers). If anyone is interested in this please do get in touch!

Second, we will need to think about tech platforms for a community pension fund so I’d also be interested to hear from anyone with experiencing building anything financial - please do also let me know.

Thank you!

Hi Hayley - I’d also recommend you create an account/post on the workers.coop forum as well.

Hello and its so nice to hear someone talk about pensions!

For me the big burning issue is simply that loads of activists and organisers (like me!) don’t have them at all - feels like a huge brewing crisis esp given the cost of living predicted to rise.

Do you need to make a new pension fund? For me I would just welcome some discussions about it and what our collective futures look like…
