We’re pleased to release our first local impact report. It shows the positive social and environmental impact Avon Pension Fund has had since it started investing locally in 2024.
We’ve published results from a recent member survey which sought views on whether the Fund should continue or cease investing in Aerospace & Defence companies. The survey was conducted online with members between 4 - 22 September 2025.
This month around 20,000 randomly selected members are receiving an invitation to participate in the investments survey. The survey will ask whether they think the Fund should continue investing in Aerospace & Defence companies.
As we look back on the past year, we're proud to share the progress we've made together. From strengthening our financial position to enhancing the services we provide, it’s been a year of meaningful change and improvements for the Fund and its members.
We have selected a research partner who will provide expert guidance and best practice in research methods. We expect to email members the survey later this summer.
All our active members’ Career Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) pensions were revalued in April 2025. The value of the CARE pension increased by 1.7%, in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figure for September 2024.
Our deferred members have also had their total pension increased by 1.7%, again in line with September 2024 CPI.
We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers from our membership to serve as member representatives on the Board. You'll amplify the voices of Fund members, offering informed advice and guidance alongside a diverse group.
