I am a civil servant

Civil Service clubs and networks

Civil Service Benevolent fund

Founded in 1886, the Fund is the occupational charity for every current and former Civil Servant (and employee of an Associated Organisation), and their financial dependants. It provides help, guidance, information, and advice to thousands of people every year, and last year provided nearly £4 million of financial assistance to those in need through the generosity of donors to the Fund, whose contributions support our activities.

Civil Service Club

The Civil Service Club is based in central London. The club is for civil servants who visit the city for business or pleasure. For a small annual subscription, membership is available to all serving, former and retired civil servants. Individuals who are currently employed as civil servants can arrange for their membership fee to be deducted from their pay.

Civil Service Healthcare

Civil Service Healthcare is an exclusive specialist provider of health insurance for civil servants and their families. Employees in the public sector and those working for organisations that have been privatised are also eligible to join.

Civil Service Insurance Society

The Civil Service Insurance Society negotiates favourable rates with insurance companies for civil servants. Membership is open to members and families of the Civil Service and public sector, as well as employees of the National Health Service, local authorities, government agencies and privatised bodies that used to be part of the Civil Service.

Both retired and serving civil servants can join the Fellowship. You can phone them on 020 8691 7411, or email: info@csrf.org.uk

The CSSC is the largest corporate provider of sport and leisure in the UK. They organise hundreds of sports events every year. Membership benefits also include national and local discounts on a variety of attractions and hotels.
