Retirement isn’t the end of the story

Retirement isn’t the end of the story — it’s the start of a new chapter.

And with that in mind, the Civil Service Retirement Fellowship is proud to introduce its brand-new podcast: Not Done Yet.

Hosted by Denise and David, Not Done Yet is a fresh, engaging podcast that celebrates later life, challenges ageism, and explores the issues that matter most to those beyond the workplace. With warmth, humour and honesty, the series shines a light on the opportunities, challenges and realities of life after work — proving that there is still so much to discover, contribute and enjoy.

Each episode brings together thoughtful conversation, practical insight and real-life experience. From understanding Civil Service pensions and navigating the cost of living, to exploring wellbeing, purpose, community and identity, Denise and David tackle topics that resonate with many in later life. The podcast also looks outward — highlighting cultural events, books, films and activities that inspire curiosity and connection.

At its heart, Not Done Yet is about people. It’s about sharing stories, asking questions, and creating a space where listeners feel seen, heard and encouraged. Whether you are newly retired, planning ahead, or simply interested in what comes next, the podcast offers something for everyone.

Importantly, the series also challenges outdated perceptions of ageing. Later life is not about slowing down — it’s about evolving, adapting and embracing new possibilities. Through honest discussions and uplifting perspectives, Not Done Yet aims to empower listeners to approach this stage of life with confidence and optimism.

As part of the Civil Service Retirement Fellowship’s ongoing commitment to supporting connection and wellbeing, the podcast complements the wide range of activities, groups and opportunities already available to members.

So whether you’re listening at home, on a walk, or over a cup of tea, we invite you to join us.

Because whatever stage you’re at — you’re not finished, you’re not fading, and you’re certainly not done yet.
