The trustees of the Scheme (the Trustees) hereby give notice for the purpose of section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925 that the Scheme will shortly be wound up.

The Trustees wish to trace any person who believes that they may have any right to benefits from the Scheme and who did not receive a letter from the Trustees in April notifying them that the Scheme is being wound up.

Any such person is required to send details of their claim and any benefits that they believe they are entitled to in writing to the Trustees within TWO MONTHS of the date of publication of this notice. After the expiry of this two-month period, the assets of the Scheme will be distributed having regard only to the claims and interests of which the Trustees had notice of before the expiry of this two-month period.

If you are or were an employee of the Royal Alfred Seafarers' Society (the Scheme’s sponsoring employer) and a member of the Scheme, or a dependant of a deceased member of the Scheme, and believe you are entitled to benefits under the Scheme but have not been contacted in respect of those benefits, please write to the Trustees within TWO MONTHS of the date of publication of this notice and provide details of your address and any benefits to which you believe you are entitled. The Trustees should be contacted using the following postal or e-mail addresses:

Post: The Trustees of the Royal Alfred Seafarers’ Society Staff Pension Fund Weston Acres Woodmansterne Lane Banstead Surrey SM7 3HB

E-mail: enquiries@royalalfred.org.uk

If you already receive a pension from the Scheme, or you have received a letter from the Trustees regarding the winding up of the Scheme, you do not need to write to the Trustees as the Trustees are already aware of your interest under the Scheme. However, please do continue to let the Trustees know using the contact details set out above if there is any change to your personal details (address, marital status etc).

Issued on behalf of the TRUSTEES OF THE ROYAL ALFRED SEAFARERS’ SOCIETY STAFF PENSION FUND
