The mission is simple - to help you find lost pensions
Sunday 25 October is National Pension Tracing Day, a reminder to track down any pensions you have lost touch with over the years.
As the clocks go back this weekend, why not use that extra hour to give your pensions a little attention? If you've changed jobs or moved house, you might have a pension from a previous employer that you've forgotten about.
An estimated 3 million pension posts have been lost or forgotten, worth over £18.7 billion in total. That's an average value of £6,220 per pot!
Watch this short video to find out more, and use the Licence To Trace Mission Checklist to help you find clues and information you need to track down your lost pensions.
