We understand the cost pressures that public sector employers are facing. So far we’ve helped our partnered organisations save over £29,000,000 collectively by implementing Shared Cost AVCs – and we want to help you save too.
As an employer of Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) members, your employees are entitled to the valuable retirement benefit of a salary sacrifice Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contribution (Shared Cost AVC) scheme.
Shared Cost AVCs enable your LGPS members to access a cost-effective way to create additional income for retirement, thanks to savings on Income Tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) on whatever they pay into the scheme.
However, as any contributions your employees make into the scheme are taken from gross salary (‘salary sacrifice’) – your organisation can make an extra saving of 14.3% per contribution due to a reduction in employer NICs.

Lisa Harrington
Senior Health and Safety Officer
“Thanks to AVC Wise’s help with employee communications and their fabulous webinars, employee take up has been strong. Best of all, introducing this scheme hasn’t caused a huge workload for us – AVC Wise have made it so easy.”
Lyn Butler
Deputy Director of HR
“I have to admit...it just sounded too good to be true – a scheme which benefits our employees AND benefits the University. I thought that surely there must be a catch? But, actually there wasn’t. Even better, launching our Shared Cost AVC scheme was simple; AVC Wise guided us through each stage of the process – and we have made significant financial savings since its launch.”
Yvonne Moult
Senior Pensions Officer
"AVC Wise will work with you to launch the scheme & be there as support even after you go live. They are very professional but friendly & a number of the team are ex Prudential so they do ‘know their stuff’. The AVC Wise webinars really are invaluable & now cover such a wide range of topics & information. The feedback from employees about the webinars has been nothing short of positive.”
We help to educate your LGPS members on the basics of their pension scheme and how they can boost their income at retirement via a suite of webinars. This year alone we’ve offered 29 different topics to members.
