Mission Fund. Alongside this. each month in our morning service we featU￿d the work of a particular charity th?I

aided, from members of our fellowship. However, we did not contract the 5eryice of any professional fundraisers

The Church is a participating employer in the Baptist Pension Scheme I'lhe Scheme.), which 15 8 separ8te
legal entity administered by the Pension Trustee (Baplisl Pension Trust Limited). The assets of the Schem8
a￿ held separately from those of the Employer and the other pa￿'¢iPating employers.
The Scheme, prewously known as the Baptist Minislers. Pension Fund. started in 1925, but Was closed lo
future accrual of defined benefits on 31 December 2011. Prior lo Ihis date the main ber)efit provided through
the Defined Benefit IDB} Plan was a pension of one eightielh of final minimum pensionable income for each
year of pensionable service together with additional pension in respect of premiums paid on Pensionable
IncrAne in excess of Minimum Pensionable In￿Me.
From January 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution {DCI Plan within the
Scheme. In general, members pay 80/0 of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6Yo of mernbers,
Pensionable Income into individual pension accounts. which are operated and managed on behalf of the
Pension Trustee by Broadslone Corporate Benefits Ltd. In addition. the employer pays a further 40/0 of
Pensionable Income lo cover Death in Service Benefits, administration costs. and an associated insurance
policy which prowdes income protection lor Scheme members if they a￿ unable to work due to long-term
incapacity. This income prolection policy has been insured by the Baptist Union of Great Britain with Aviva
Limited.

Teddington Baptist Church
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023
The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. Because it
is not possible to attribute the Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers, the scheme is accounted
for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.
The Ministers are eligible to join the Scheme.
Recovery Plan
In addition to the contributions to the DC Plan sel out above, where a valuation of the D8 Plan reveals a deficit
the Trustee and the Council agree lo a rale of deficiency contributions from churches and other employers
involveé in the DB Plan. On 30th June 2022 the Baptist Pension Scheme signed an agreement with the
insurance company Just Group I"Jusl") lo secure DB Plan members, pension benefits. Just are now providing
financial backing for all pensions provided through the Scheme's DB Plan and following this transaction, the
Scheme no longer has a shortfall. An updated Recovery plan was then signed in August 2022 under which
recovery contributions from each participaling employer in the DB Plan reduced lo £1 per month from August
