Pensions and death benefits
Any OML, OAL or OPL that is unpaid (plus unpaid parental leave if the employee returns to work)
Who?
Some argue that for DC arrangements the employer also needs to make up the difference between what the employee contributes based on actual earnings, and what they would have contributed based on notional earnings. It isn’t clear that this is needed, and it isn’t normally done
*Employer top-up?
How does it work? What protection an employee has for pension and death benefit provision during leave depends on the type of leave, whether it is paid leave or not and what type of pension scheme the employee is in. These tables show what happens for employees in defined benefit (DB) plans or sections (final salary schemes, career average) and for defined contribution (DC) plans or sections where the employer contributes (money purchase, group personal pension). For cash balance plans, read the tables as if DC contributions were employer credits
Do we have to offer this protection? Bringing together the bulk of the equality laws in 2010 created some odd gaps in the way maternity protection works for pensions and death benefits. Until those gaps are joined up, it is difficult to be absolutely sure what the minimum requirements are. These tables set out what we think will be enough to be sure to keep you within the law
YESUse actual earnings
Employee contributions?
YESUse notional earnings
YES*Use notional earnings
YESUse notional earnings

CONTINUESEmployee is not treated as having left during leave

Death in service lump sum cover?
DC scheme: employer ordinary contributions

A budget range of dining sets rebranded to give the appearance of a much higher quality product.
Going along with the ‘less is more’ concept, everything needed to be kept simple from photography, colour palette, even the name ‘Eat-on’.
The end result is a clean, simple and quality looking product with a Poundland price tag.

Artists
Magic Me freelance artists are skilled practitioners
in diverse disciplines across the performing, visual,
literary and media arts. All have extensive experience
of using their artforms with community groups and
many also bring to this work, training and skills in
education, social work, conflict resolution and other
complementary fields.
Most projects are co-led by two or more artists from
different disciplines, supported by a Project Manager.
By selecting the appropriate artists we aim to cater
for very diverse groups, including individuals with
dementia orsensory impairments, or people from
diverse cultures.
Continuing Professional Development
Throughout its history Magic Me has run training
programmes and events preparing our artists
for the particular challenges and dynamics of
intergenerational work. Our Continuing Professional
Development programme offers artists and staff
opportunities to learn new skills and to discuss
and share learning that takes place across different
projects.
Volunteers and students
Volunteers and students on placements with Magic
Me as part of their courses are a vital part of our
organisation. Every week our volunteers support
less confident young and older people to join in
activities, do office admin or upload photos to
our website.
We also benefit from specialist skills
such as journalism, database design or
research.
We estimate that volunteers’
and students’ help last year
was worth over £17,000. Our heartfelt
thanks to all of you! We could not run
such a rich programme and reach so
many people without you.

&CARESETTINGS
Our partnerships with Primary Schools and older people are just as important.
This year Clara Grant School pupils joined with Fern Street Settlement members to create beautiful mosaics and friendship benches for both venues. This was the fourth annual Magic Me arts project with the two organisations, who keep in touch through the year with visits by pupils for concerts, local history work and other curriculum based sessions. A new Magic Me Holiday Club was launched at Easter 2010 for children who wanted to continue visiting their older friends in their own time.
John Scurr School pupils visited Pat Shaw House care home residents for shared singing and arts workshops and the school is now building more intergenerational visits and sessions into their singing and concerts programme.
The 2010 Magic Me project, the third, was funded by NHS Tower Hamlets, aiming to promote better mental health amongst older people and greater community understanding of elders’ mental health issues.
The teachers and activities organisers we work with are wonderful ambassadors for inter generational work and their support and enthusiasm is invaluable.

Magic Me with Schools and Older People Creative projects linking older people with local school pupils have been a core Magic Me activity for more than 21 years. Annual projects with regular partners have enabled us to develop real working relationships with school staff, older people and those who work with them, honing plans to meet changing needs and target specific groups. New activities grow from participants’ suggestions and intergenerational work is woven into organisations’ regular programmes.
Dressing Up!
This year’s 7th annual collaborative project with The Women’s Library and Mulberry School for Girls, saw women aged 14 to 84 exploring the ways in which women express themselves and disguise themselves through clothes. In 2009 participants used photography and creative writing to explore the theme of Utopia.
Live Long! Live Well! Live Life!
Live Long! Live Well! Live Life! with regular partners Oaklands School and Sundial Centre, was enriched by involving students from the newly opened Cambridge Heath Sixth Form.
Participants created postcards and a video about how to live a healthy, happy life, launched at a feast they cooked and hosted for 60 people invited from the local community

2011_Portfolio_CS4_FINAL.indd 24 07/10/2011 04:03
Leather case bound retirement book for Senior Partner of Allen & Overy, Guy Beringer QC. De-bossed title to leather cover and matching presentation box.
A great team player
Ask people about Allen & Overy’s senior
partner from 2000 to 2008 and a number of
words keep recurring: independent thinker,
determined, humorous, honest, modest,
and fantastic public speaker.
He led the firm with vision and confidence
during the last months of the internet
boom, through the economic slump which
followed that and back to the rude health
which it has enjoyed in recent years.
He is scrupulously impartial and fair,
comfortable taking difficult decisions and
defending them – and always willing to
share his compendious knowledge of the
Duke of Wellington!
And for 30 years his commitment to A&O
has been second to none. The firm has
quite simply been his working life. From
the trainee who walked through the door
at New Change to the Senior Partner – the
youngest ever – who successfully led the
firm for eight years, Guy has grown at
Allen & Overy.
But all good things must come to an end,
and so the time has come for colleagues
and clients to bid him a fond farewell. As we
do so, this book stands as a celebration of
his life and times at A&O.
It includes memories and messages from
those who know him, including his fellow
partners at the firm and clients. His three
daughters also share some of their stories
growing up with Guy, and his wife Margaret
discusses what the last 30 years have
meant for her.
And there are pictures. Lots of pictures. The
following pages are positively plastered with
pictures from the past three decades – from
Guy’s time as a professional rugby player to
his role in the A&O production of the Pirates
of Penzance.
So, Guy Beringer – this is your life at A&O…
Goodbye Guy
Amelia: Daddy always used to tell me that I
couldn’t have a boyfriend. When I was 15, I
couldn’t have a boyfriend until I was 18. Then,
when I turned 18, I couldn’t have a boyfriend
until I was 21. But I’ve since been told by my
sisters that what I’m supposed to do is have
a boyfriend – but just not tell daddy!
Daddy at home is a stark contrast to him at
work, because at work he’s the boss, but at
home he’s not. He’s actually quite low in the
pecking order – although he wouldn’t think
that!
Louisa: He’s very competitive. We would
do these swimming races, and when I was
younger daddy would give me a head start so
that I would win. But now, he goes all out to
win. We raced recently, and I wasn’t allowed
to use my legs so that he had a better chance
of winning.
Catherine: Dad’s always told us that we can
do anything, and never to believe anyone who
says we can’t do something because we’re
girls. He’s very pro-women and very fair. He
will help others with their careers, but does
not believe in nepotism. After all, he started
out as a trainee just like everyone else, and
we’ve grown up with a very real work ethic.
Dad has such solid values.
Louisa: He loves the underdog in any
situation, and tends to befriend the people
that, for whatever reason, nobody else
wants to be friends with. As a result, we’ve
had some pretty random people round for
Christmas dinner over the years!
We raced recently, and I wasn’t allowed to use my legs so that he had a better chance of winning.
Good with an audience
Catherine: He absolutely loves dressing up.
He has an Ali Baba outfit, and a policeman’s
outfit. He’s particularly fond of hats.
He’s a brilliant performer. For years he’s been
the MC at our local church, doing musical
performances –mainly songs from the shows
or Gilbert & Sullivan. He would coordinate
it and introduce the acts on the night. He’s
very funny when he ad-libs. There would be a
show every six months and he came up with
some great ideas for it.
He’s got a lovely voice, and plays guitar, but
all the other guys singing with him would be
tone deaf!
Louisa: We used to get involved too. Daddy
would sing an Irish song, McNamara’s Band,
that referred to lots of different instruments,
and we would get dressed up in green and
be the band, playing all those instruments.
Catherine: We would be playing all these
different instruments at once, but daddy
rehearsed us so well we weren’t actually that
bad. On one occasion, I had to sing as Daddy
was doing ‘a big deal’ and didn’t get home
to do the show. This became our signature
act – like the Von Trapp family. I’ve got some
really fond memories of playing that song in
the church hall.
Louisa: He’s a bit of a celebrity near where
he lives. Old ladies in particular love him.
Daddy’s very different at home. People in
the area know that he’s a lawyer, and quite
an important one, but other than that they
don’t really know what he does. He’s not at
all intimidating to them. In fact, he would put
himself out for anyone, particularly the old
ladies, who he is always running around after.
I remember that one of them once said that
he looked like Richard Gere!
Amelia: I remember when he came second in
Roll On Friday’s search for the ‘most shagable
lawyer’. He joked at the time that it was a mis-
count and he should have been number 1and I wasn’t allowed to use my legs so that he had a better chance of
