DB Scheme De-risking & Long-Term Objectives Working Group

Online via Microsoft Teams

This session is aimed at charities that are currently reviewing the long-term strategy for their defined benefit (DB) pension scheme.

Several club members have expressed an interest in forming a working group focused on DB scheme de-risking and long-term objectives, including buy-in and buy-out opportunities.

This introductory session, exclusively for charities, will provide an opportunity to:

Share where each organisation is on its DB journey

Discuss common challenges and priorities

Explore how members can support one another through a dedicated working group

Consider opportunities to access additional expertise and support through our partner network

Whether you are at the early stages of planning or actively progressing towards a long-term endgame solution, we welcome your participation.

Non-members are welcome to attend one session free of charge to experience how the club works.

Financial Wellbeing Seminar for Member Employees: Preparing for the Unthinkable – Will Writing & Other Important Death Planning Matters

Online Webinar via Microsoft Teams

For Employees of Member Charities

This financial wellbeing webinar, presented by our Actuarial partners, First Actuarial, focuses on the topics of will writing and other important death related planning areas. For many of us these may be subjects we’re uncomfortable facing, but failing to plan or put in place appropriate measures can have significant financial consequences for our loved ones, and those left behind, if the unthinkable happens.

This session covers these difficult matters sensitively and sympathetically, enabling those attending to form their own to-do list of actions they can take afterwards, relevant to their own circumstances.

This is a new event available exclusively for member charities. Join the club today to give your employees access to this important and practical seminar.

Thursday 5 November 2026

2.30pm - 3.30pm

Webinar with Pi Partnership

We’re pleased to share that our professional trustee partners, Pi Partnership, will be hosting an upcoming webinar for our network. The session will explore key governance, regulatory and strategic considerations for charities managing their pension schemes, offering practical insights and professional trustee perspectives to support effective scheme oversight.
