According to the Office for National Statistics, defined contribution contributions were scaled back by 11% in the second quarter of 2020 as the impact of the pandemic set in. Savers also withdrew £9.4bn flexibly from their retirement pots during 2020, data released by HM Revenue & Customs has shown.

This dramatic fall in pension contributions, directly linked to the pandemic, could seriously affect the financial wellbeing of some members by putting a massive dent in people's retirement plans and ability to save for the future.

Professional Pensions Defined Contribution digital event hopes to take stock of the last year and ask the important questions; are members saving enough and have we improved the member journey at retirement?
