Nest pension. Should I contribute more

I'm a single woman and I can retire in 4 years time. I'm still working and My nest pension is currently just under £2000. I receive around £55per month from another pension which I had to cash in early. Would it be a good idea to add thiss £55 to my Nest pension?    I don't understand much of the information I read online as I have a brain injury that makes processing involved information sometimes difficult so I appreciate fairly simply worded replies.
Thank you

    £2000 is a very low pension amount . You should try to add more to it  whatever the source , preferably a lot more than £55 a month . Can you ask your employer to take a higher % from your salary each month ?
