If you are a member of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) you can boost your pension benefits for retirement with our Salary Sacrifice Shared Cost AVC (SCAVC) Scheme.
Key benefits of shared cost AVCs:
- you will make important Income Tax and National Insurance contribution savings on the money you add to your SCAVC pot
- you can choose and change how much you contribute at any time, starting from as little as £2 per month
- you can access your pot of money from age 55 onwards, meaning you could potentially retire early
