Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs)

AVCs are another way of increasing your benefits. Your contributions build up an additional pension that is separate to your teacher's pension.

The Department for Education has arrangements with Prudential but you can use other companies. You can find out more by visiting www.pru.co.uk.

Once you’ve applied for an AVC plan you can also speak to Prudential on 0345 600 0343, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 6:00pm.
