    I will speak to my employers about increasing contributions. If they dont want to contribute more on their part then:

    You can still increase your contributions even if they do not .

    On the VLS type thing, are these investment schemes i could just open and contribute each month, like i do currently with my ISA? If so im thinking i could just leave my current ISA pot as it is so I keep that wrapped up.

    Vanguard Life Strategy are investment funds . For most people it is better to open a Stocks and shares ISA to buy and hold these funds in ( or any other funds you choose) .

    However there is not the same tax benefit as investing in a pension.
