Process for joining
If you retire directly from Unilever, at the point when your pension is paid, there is a check to see if you meet the above requirements. If you do, then you’ll receive a letter introducing you to the UPA. If you think you’re eligible based on the information provided above please email the team at Unilever.PA@Unilever.com
Pensioner groups
Within UPA, there are 6 pensioner regional groups located around the UK. These groups are run by Unilever pensioners for Unilever pensioners. The types and frequency of events vary from group to group. Each group has their own constitution and subscription fee. You can apply to join any of the 6 pensioner groups at any time. You can belong to more than one group if you wish.
The locations of the 6 regional groups are:
- Ashford
- Colworth
- Gloucester
- Leeds
- SUPA! (Surrey Unilever Pensioners Association)
- Wirral
This group is for pensioners who have worked in Head Office. There is a cost of £30 to join. If you die while a member of this group, continuing membership is available for your widow/widower free of any further subscription.
To be a member of UPC you must:
- Have worked in a Company or Companies of the Unilever Group for at least 10 years
- Have retired directly from the business
- Have worked for at least 4 years in Head Office, which is within the 10 years immediately before retiring from Unilever

30 years
To be a member of the 35 Club you need to have worked for the company continuously for 30 years.
You will receive an invitation to Unilever hosted pensioner lunches if there is one happening in the area you live in. You are welcome to bring your spouse or partner to these lunches, as well as a carer if you require one. Lunches are free to attend.
