LTB 011/26 – Royal Mail The Collective Plan Winter Newsletter
No. 011/26

12th January 2026

Dear Colleague,

Royal Mail – The Collective Plan Winter Newsletter

Branches and members are advised that the Collective Plan winter newsletter was published last Friday (https://rmcollectiveplan.com/member-self-service). Members who have registered for the Member Self-Service (MSS) and who have not opted out of digital communications will receive the newsletter by email. Members who have opted out of digital communications and recent joiners will receive the newsletter in the post. The remaining members will be able to view the newsletter on the Collective Plan website.

The following are the key themes/stats contained within the newsletter:
  • 119,491 members have joined the Collective Plan.

  • 29,763 members have registered for the Member Self-Service (MSS) website.

  • 43,842 members opted for the Lump Sum Booster.

  • 10,075 members paid Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs).

  • 9,219 members have provided details of their Dependents on the MSS.

  • £564m has come into the Collective Plan since launch up to 30 September 2025.

  • Added to that is £50m of gains (investment returns).

  • leaving total assets of £614m.


Branches are urged to encourage members to sign up to the MSS website where they can see how much has been built up so far and an indication of what they might receive at age 67 (link – Royal Mail – Pensions). Members can also sign up for the lump sum booster (a 1% member contribution is matched at 1% by Royal Mail and the AVCs). It is also vitally important that members provide details of their dependents via the MSS website.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be sent to snicholas@cwu.org or hmaughan@cwu.org

Yours sincerely

Andy Furey

Assistant Secretary

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

There was quite a bit, perhaps the letters got lost in the post! So you're saying you don't know anything about the new scheme?
It might be in your best future interests to familiarize yourself with what you've already got and what the new scheme is all about.
