Welcome to your June update from Chesterton House
Summer is shaping up to be an exciting time — and in this month’s newsletter, we’ve got plenty to share with you.
From an important update from our Chairman Andy to highlights from our recent Team Day at the National Space Centre, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes as we continue to grow and connect.
If you’ve noticed financial advice popping up on social media promising quick riches, we’re also taking a closer look at what the FCA is doing to protect people from misleading claims — because sensible planning always wins out over shortcuts.
For anyone thinking about the future, new research on the real cost of retirement offers fresh insights that might surprise you, plus some useful tips if you’ve recently come into money unexpectedly.
And finally, if you’re dreaming of a holiday this year, why not make your next trip even more rewarding by supporting the Chesterton House Foundation through Riviera Travel’s Affinity Scheme?
Dive in, and as always, if you have any questions or want to chat about your own plans, we’re here to help.
If you’ve had a recent experience or achieved a goal you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you! Your stories inspire us—and might just inspire others too. Email Jenny at jenny.jervis@chestertonhouse.co.uk or reply to this email.
