Your access to savings and investments through Wealthify
We already partner with My Money Matters (previously AVC Wise) who offer a range of benefits including the flagship Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) for the Local Government Pension Scheme.
My Money Matters now offers access to Wealthify, an online/app-based service (backed by Aviva) with a range of savings and investments products available. They are designed to benefit anyone looking for flexible short-to medium-term savings options, with the ability to withdraw funds at any time.

Get access to a wide range of participating gyms, including Pure Gym, David Lloyds, The Gym Group, Nuffield Health and many more. View our interactive map containing a sample of locations. Pay your membership monthly through payroll and save on National Insurance and Pension contributions (if you’re in a pension scheme - you can also top up your pension contributions if you wish).
You asked, and we’ve listened! We heard repeat staff interest to have membership at Exeter Leisure gyms like St Sidwell’s Point on the scheme, so we’ve reached out to make it happen – and discussions are underway! While we were eager to have them onboard for the launch, we didn’t want to delay our staff accessing this fantastic benefit sooner!
📅 We are aiming to launch this new benefit mid-October and will share more details on this soon through Inside Devon.
We'd love to see some of your photos of places in Devon to use in our Where in Devon competition. Read the guidelines, get snapping, then send your pictures to the communications mailbox.
