LGPS Peer Support Training 

On 18 May 2026, the Board Secretariat delivered the first LGPS Peer Support Training. Feedback from the 25 new peers across the LGPS, including Pension Committee and Local Pension Board Chairs, alongside senior officers, was positive overall. 

The training was considered effective in providing a clear understanding of the peer support role and building confidence in its application. 

The case studies and scenario-based exercises were consistently highlighted as the most valuable elements, supporting understanding of how peer support operates in practice. Feedback also indicated that the sessions were well facilitated and supported by clear materials, with some suggestions for more extended case studies in future. 

Overall, the feedback will inform the ongoing development of the Peer Support Programme. If you are interested in becoming a peer and supporting other funds across the LGPS, please contact [email protected].
