Our Aim and What We Do

The Trustees' overall aim is to put the trading surplus of the Civil Service Insurance Society to good use, helping to relieve need, hardship and distress amongst serving, former and retired civil and public servants and their families, both directly and by action in the local communities in which they live. We achieve our aims by giving grants.

The charity supports directly a small number of widows and other dependants of deceased policy holders of the Civil Service Insurance Society (CSIS) with annual grants and help with specific costs such as phone bills, replacing cookers, etc.

In addition, we make grants to a wide range of other charities and not-for-profit organisations who can help us achieve our aims, either by giving individual welfare support to needy serving, former and retired civil and public servants and their families, or by funding projects which will be of more general benefit to our target client group. You can find our more about the charities and not-for-profit organisations we have worked with and the grants we have given by clicking on “Some examples of those we have helped” and “What difference do we make”. You can find out more and in our Annual Report and Accounts.
