tivial pension worthwhile ?

Im 54 and self-employed. The only pension I will receive will be from the state.
If I take out a private pension e.g. a stakeholder, before April, is there a limit to how much I could invest this tax year (to avoid paying income tax)? I earn about 16k a year.

I am leaving the U.K. in October so I will not earn enough from April to take advantage of the trivial aspect.

The idea is to invest up to the 15k limit for trivial pensions so I can have the option in 10 years time to cash it in - is this possible?

thanks for your time.
