Next-Up supports employers with a range of services for directors, partners and employees to help them understand the impact of retirement on mental health and create a plan to use their skills and experience in new ways to ensure wellbeing.
A key part of our role is to inspire people to use their skills in new ways – one example is the 500 mentors initiative, launched with support from Leeds City Council
Transitions are often tough. But this time in your life is unique, giving you the opportunity to shape your future, on your terms and what’s right for you. These podcasts will help you do that.
