Grow your pension with additional contributions
We’re currently reviewing our AVC arrangement with Standard Life to make it easier for you to manage your AVCs and add to your pension if you wish.
We’ll contact all members with further details once the improvements are in place which we expect to be in early 2027.
In the meantime, any existing AVC savings remain safely invested with your AVC provider. The Scheme has two legacy AVCs arrangements – one with Utmost (formerly Equitable Life) and Added Years AVCs. If you hold AVCs with either of these arrangements and have any questions, please contact the administrator for further information.
Build more for your future
Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) are a way to save more towards retirement alongside your main Scheme benefits.
By making extra contributions, you can build additional retirement savings that may give you more flexibility and income when you retire.
