Additional Voluntary Contributions

You can increase your pension by paying Additional Voluntary Contributions. These are often referred to as AVCs.

We operate an in-house AVC scheme with Clerical Medical. The main advantage to you in taking out the in-house scheme is that the administration costs are a lot lower than a private arrangement.

AVC's are a very flexiable way of making extra contributions and there are choices on investments and payments.

We can provide quotations for AVC contributions. All you need to do is write in to us and we will arrange to send a quote to your home address.

You can find more detailed information in the AVC factsheet and the Clerical Medical website.

You can also increase your pension by buying additional pension or a stakeholder pension.
