Home-start Hillingdon Limited Notes to the Finan¢ial Statements for the Yegr Ended 31 Mareh 2025 19 Cotstingtht li*bilitie Homethstart Hillingdon Limited participate5 in The Pensions Tn￿3 Growth Plan (the Plan). The Plan is fimded and 15 not of the State scheme. The Plan 15 a multi-employ¢r pension plan. The Charity partiCip￿ed in seri￿ 3 of the Plan up to its c105ure on 30th Septwnber 2013. when it Wos repla¢¢d by Serics 4, a defiDed contribution money-pur¢hase pension s¢hem¢, to which ¢ll￿ent contributioL8 are made. Following a ¢hange in legÈsl&tion in S¢p¢¢mber 2005 there is a potential debt on the cmployer that C4)uld be levied by the Trustee of th¢ Plan and The Pension5 Act 2011 ha5 more r¢¢ently altered the definition of Series 3 ofthe Gromth Plan 50 that a liobility arises to employerg from mcmbership of arty Series ¢xcept Series 4.The debt is du¢ in the event of the employer ccasing to participate in the Plan orthe Plwj winding up. The debt for the Plan as a whol¢ is calculated by ￿mparIng the liabilities for th¢ Plan {￿l¢U1¥41ed on a b￿¥out b8$is i.e. the CO￿ of securing benefits by pur¢hasing annuity policie5 from zn insurer, plus an allow8n¢¢ for expenses) with the assets of the Plan. If th¢ liabilities exceed assets there is a buy-out debt. The leaYin8 employ¢r's share of the buy-out debt is the proportion of the Plan's liability gttributable lo employment with the leaNYng employer Gompar¢d to the total amount of the Plan's liabilitres (relating to ¢mployment with a]1 the ¢vrr¢ntly partiCiPY4ting ¢mployer5). The leaving employer's debt therefor¢ in¢ludes share of any 'orphan' liabilities iD respecl of previously participating employ¢Ys. The arnouni of the debt th¢r¢for¢ depends on many fattors including total Plan liabtlities, Plan inv¢$tment perfortnall¢e, the liabilities ID respect of Curretht and fO￿¢r employees of the employer, financial condition5 at the tim¢ of the cessatiort event and the insurance buyvout markeL Therefore, the amounts of d¢bt caD be vol￿1]¢ over tim¢. Wh¢n an ¢mployer wiihthaws from a multirfmployer defined benefit p¢nsion scheme whi¢h is in deficit, the employer is requir¢d by law to pay its share of the deficii, calculated on 8 slatutory basis (ktmiwn as the buy4)ut basis). Due to a ch3ng¢ in the definytion of money purchase contsined in the PeDsions Ad 2011 the ralrulatioD basis that applies lo th¢ Growth Plan will be am¢nd¢d to include SeTie5 3 liabiliti¢s in the Calculation of an ¢mployer's debt ot) withdrawal. The Cjrowth Plan i$ a'last man stsnding" multi<mploy¢r scheme. Thks means that if a withdrnwillg employer is unable to pay its debt on wthdrowoj the liabiliry is shared amongst the r¢maining employers. Th¢ participating employers are therefore, joindy and s¢v¢rally liabl¢ for the d¢fiEit in th¢ Gttrwth Plan. The charity ha5 been notified by The Pension5 Tntst of the ¢5timated employer debt on withdrawal from the Plan based on the fjnancial position of the Plan ￿ at 30 Sept¢rnb¢r 2024. As of this dat¢ the eStirn￿e￿ employer debt for th¢ cbatity w&8 £6.651.
