The Charity for Civil Servants makes an incredible impact on the lives of those people who come to us for support.
But we can't do it alone. It's only by working in partnership with many other organisations that we makes things happen.
And because we're building a lifelong community, we look for partners who share our values. The partners listed below all play their role in helping us support you and your financial dependants.
Civil Service Insurance Society (CSIS)
The Civil Service Insurance Society is a Not for Profit organisation, providing specially negotiated home, motor and travel insurance to all current and former civil and public servants and their partners.
CSIS charges NO ADMINISTRATION FEES of any kind and has won several awards for their trusted and transparent approach to insurance.
CSIS donates all its profits to the CSIS Charity Fund, an independent charity dedicated to helping current and former civil and public servants and their families to get through tough times in their lives. It has made grants to around 100 organisations including The Charity for Civil Servants, and supported the spouses of deceased policyholders, for more than a century. In the last decade some £7.5 million has gone to these causes, returning help to the communities from which the funds were generated.
