Small actions now could lead to financial freedom later. This session is designed to help you make sense of your pension today, so you have more choice, control and confidence tomorrow.

A Pension is a long-term investment, the fund value may fluctuate and can go down. Your eventual income may depend upon the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rate and tax legislation.    


The Shared Cost AVC scheme is available to active Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) members only.


You should consider your affordability before applying for a Shared Cost AVC plan.
A Shared Cost AVC PLAN cannot be accessed until age 55, rising to age 57 from 2028.
