Navigating Retirement is a group of retirees in London who are interested in providing information to other retirees in the community. Our goal is to help people better navigate their retirement years by highlighting resources to help with aging and associated issues and by providing educational workshops and informative guest-speaker presentations. This group also provides another avenue for social connections and an opportunity to have some fun along the way. In addition, there are no membership fees required to attend our meetings.
