Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs)

Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs)

AVCs are another way of increasing a member’s benefits. The contributions build up an Additional Pension that is separate to their teacher’s pension. The Department for Education has AVC arrangements with Prudential but members can use other companies. Find out more about AVCs and Prudential by visiting the Prudential’s Introduction to AVCs (PDF, 130 KB) or by visiting their website at www.pru.co.uk/connect.
