Welcome to REFIREMENT UK a pioneering movement dedicated to reimagining retirement for women in the 21st century. Our mission is to empower mature women to embrace this new phase of life with passion, purpose, and possibility.
At REFIREMENT UK, we believe retirement is not an end, but a vibrant new beginning. Our vision is to create a dynamic community where mature women can explore new opportunities, share their wisdom, and lead fulfilling lives.
Our work includes research, connecting people with common aims to collaborate, training and information all with the purpose of valuing the contribution of mature women who want more from their retirement than afternoon TV and knitting.
The Rose Report about Women in Business 2019 suggested that if women set up and scales business at the same rate as men it would be worth £250billion to our economy. The report went on to say that the second fastest growing group of female entrepreneurs are the over 55's and yet their lived experience is filled with barriers and stereotypes that make starting a business doubly difficult.
We are building a community to combat those stereotypes and influence policy makers and commercial companies to support women entrepreneurs who want to work for themselves past traditional retirement age.
