We are pleased to announce the renewal of our partnership with Tullie, the local museum, art gallery and community hub. Open since 1893 and often described as Carlisle’s first learning centre, Tullie plays an integral role in the local community. The organisation works closely with schools, colleges and local businesses, with a strong commitment to accessibility and inclusion for all.
InvestAcc remains committed to supporting local charitable causes. Commenting on the renewed partnership, Managing Director, Nick Gardner said:
“InvestAcc are proud to renew our corporate partnership with Tullie for the 2025/26 period. Supporting local causes is central to our values, and Tullie is a highly respected organisation that plays a vital role in preserving culture and inspiring learning within our community. This partnership reflects InvestAcc’s ongoing commitment to initiatives that deliver lasting social and cultural value.”
Through the corporate partnership, InvestAcc will continue to collaborate closely with Tullie, while InvestAcc staff also benefit from discounted access to the museum. Partnerships such as this are essential in enabling Tullie to continue its valuable work within the community.
Katie Mitchell, Head of Commercial & Operations at Tullie, added:
“We’re delighted that InvestAcc are continuing their corporate partnership with us. As the go-to place for culture in the city, Tullie is committed to working with organisations that share our ambition to create meaningful, lasting impact for our communities. InvestAcc’s renewed support strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality cultural and learning experiences, and demonstrates how strong local partnerships can play a vital role in enriching the city’s cultural life.”

The Minerva SIPP can invest in a wider range of assets including commercial property and land, on an individual or group basis. Any combination of permitted investments may be made within a Minerva SIPP including deposit accounts, DFM, open market platform/wrap accounts, stockbroker accounts and trustee investment plans, all held together within the same SIPP.
SIPP Lite is a lower cost option, for those that do not require multiple investment accounts, or access to commercial property and land at outset. SIPP Lite members are restricted to a maximum of one investment account, to run alongside the default SIPP bank account. This investment account could be another bank account or ONE of the following: stockbroker account, DFM, open market platform/wrap account or a trustee investment plan. For individuals that require additional investments at a later date, including commercial property and land, they can upgrade their SIPP Lite plan to a Minerva SIPP.
A Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS) is a type of UK registered pension scheme. Each SSAS is governed by its own trust deed and rules and is a separate legal entity to the sponsoring employer. The sponsoring employer establishes the SSAS and invites members to join. Any individual employed by the sponsoring employer (or a participating employer) may join the scheme and all members are appointed as trustees alongside the professional trustee. SSAS trustees have a very wide range of investment options, including the ability to make secured loans to the sponsoring employer of up to 50% of the net asset value of the scheme, subject to certain conditions.
We have been operating in these markets for over 20 years. The SSAS business was formed in 1997, and in 2003 we launched our flagship product, the Minerva SIPP. The range is completed by SIPP Lite, which has been available since July 2012.
