10 Years of Grant Giving as an Incorporated Charity

In 2017 we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our reconstitution as a charitable company.  We are enormously proud that in those ten years we made grants totalling just over £7.4million to more than 100 different charitable organisations, supporting a wide range of worthwhile causes that have made a real difference to the lives of individuals.

The £7.4 million includes:

• £330,000 to the widows of deceased CSIS policyholders;
• £2,486,000 to the Charity for Civil Servants;
• £640,000 to the Civil Service Retirement Fellowship;
• £538,000 to the BT Benevolent Fund;
• £505,000 to the Rowland Hill Fund and POOBI to support serving and retired postal workers;
• £295,000 to the Railway Benefit Fund;
• £220,000 to the MOD Family Activity Breaks (FAB) holiday project for bereaved service families;
• £258,000 to support serving and retired prison and probation officers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland;
• £114,000 to the NHS Retirement Fellowship;
• £135,000 to the Education Support Partnership, helping teachers in schools, further and higher education;
• £125,000 to The Benenden Charitable Trust;
• £55,000 to support disabled sportsmen and women through the CSSC and HASSRA; 
• a massive £768,000 to support the work of the hospice movement, including making grants ranging from £5,000 to £80,000 to 43 adult and children’s hospices in areas of the country where large numbers of civil servants live and work, as well as providing £200,000 to support Hospice UK's Care Strategy and Support Team;
• and almost £1 million to some 50 other organisations who we believe can help us to achieve our objects of relieving need, hardship and distress amongst former, serving and retired civil and public servants and their families.
