Retiring well: led by Helen Calder

Retiring Well is for those approaching retirement and for those who have finished full time roles in the last year. Retirement is a time of significant change: it is a journey rather than an event, with many topics to think through. By the end of the programme participants will:

  1. Have had opportunity to personally consider some of the implications of retirement.
  2. Have been inspired to pray, think and plan how you can best use your retirement.
  3. Have been given resources to help you to do this.

Of course, the aim eventually is that you’ll have a purposeful, fulfilled and fruitful retirement. We will cover 12 topics under the overall theme “Preparing for retirement” and “New patterns of living in retirement’. For more details see www.helensheadlines.net/retiring-well-course

Who is the programme for?
As its title suggests, the programme is particularly suited to those approaching retirement. However, that timescale is not always pre-defined so you are encouraged to participate well before the expected date in order to help you prepare. And even if you are already retired, we’re sure you’ll benefit by a fresh look at your progress. If you have a partner, it’s preferable for both of you to join us, even if only one person is due retirement soon, this helps in the discussions and reflections.
