02 Activities

What the charity does

The charity achieves its aim by giving grants. A number of widows of deceased policyholders of the Civil Service Insurance Society are supported with annual grants. We also make grants to a wide range of other charities who can help us achieve our aims of supporting former and retired civil and public servants and their families, or by funding projects which will benefit our target client group.
