Who We Help

We provide help to a wide range of people. The charity’s Objects refer to the relief of need, hardship and distress amongst serving, former and retired civil and public servants and their families, and the term “civil and public servants” can include:

• Employees of government departments
• The armed forces
• The NHS
• Teachers
• Local authority employees
• Government agencies
• Privatised bodies which were formerly part of the civil service such as BT and the Post Office.

We give direct help to a small number of dependants of deceased policy holders of the Civil Service Insurance Society (CSIS). However, we cannot handle the casework involved in direct support of other individuals and we therefore work mainly through other charities and not-for-profit organisations who can help us achieve our aims, either by administering grants on our behalf or by funding projects which will be of more general benefit to our target client group.

Our grant giving policy is set out in full in the Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts
