As at 31st March 2022, there were 349 active scheme employers in the Cambridgeshire Fund, including 237 scheduled bodies and 112 admitted bodies
As at 31st March 2022, there were 318 active scheme employers in the Northamptonshire Fund, including 254 scheduled bodies and 64 admitted bodies.
The number of employer establishments in each Fund is greater still due to individual academies being tracked within Multi Academy Trusts, as illustrated in the enclosed Annual Report and Statement of Accounts.
