Here at Avon Pension Fund, we administer the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) for over 440 employers and over 113,000 members in the former Avon area. Employers include local unitary councils, universities, academies, town and parish councils, housing associations and charities. We’re administered by Bath & North East Somerset Council (B&NES), and serve three main categories of members: actively paying in members who are employed by a scheme employer, those who have left the scheme and therefore deferred their pension benefits, and those who are currently in receipt of a pension. Everything we set out to achieve as a fund is for the benefit of our members – ensuring their pensions are nurtured and safeguarded in a responsible way, for a secure retirement.
