Where do I start looking?

I worked before having children, had 2 years paying into a company pension and had annual statements sent which I pretty much ignored. Now 4 years on, they are closing the thing, so I've been offered a lump sum (under £5k). What's best to do with it? Can I reinvest in a pension somehow? Or should I just stick it in an ISA? Where do I start?? Are IFAs interested in such small amounts?

    Bump, and another question: Does the amount I receive count as income for this year, and would that then affect tax credits? Who do I ask?
