Since then. the Group has participated in a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. operated by workplace pension provthr TPT. The Chanty is p3rti¢ipating in a recovery pkn to eliminate ils Series 3 scheme defi¢it over a ten year period. The Pensions Trust. the s¢heme administrator. has however advised that the amount of employer debt on the aliemalive of vlrthdrawal from the Series 3 ￿herne has been eslimaled by aduaries to have been £200,161 as at 31 December 2016. As the Charity intends lo continue participating in the recovery plan. no provision ha5 been made for this potential wrthdrawal debt however. the Society accounted for the present value of all remaining contribulK)n$ under the recovery plan in the 2017 accounts al their present value of £120.000. as thised by the ￿heft￿ administrator. This liability has been adjusted annualty to urmnd the relev￿1 discount applied. In order to meet their share of the shortfall. the Charity has been asked to pay additional contributions to the scheme until 2025. A full aduarial valuation was carried out by the actuaries at 30 September 2017 and the fundirtg shortfall calculated at that dale gave rise to a remeasurement reduction of £15.624 in the deficit as at 31 December 2018.
