As a Civil Service charity, we receive no funding from the Civil Service so are entirely reliant on the generosity of our regular donors and supporters.
For decades, Civil Service pensioners and widows gave their working lives to the public – keeping our towns, our services and our country running day after day. Today, the Civil Service Retirement Fellowship (CSRF) stands beside them with friendship, community, and practical aid when times get tough. We ensure no one who served our nation ever faces loneliness or hardship alone.
If you believe in caring for those who cared for us, please consider leaving a legacy gift to the CSRF in your Will. It is a simple, powerful choice that carries your care far into the future.
Why your legacy matters
Gifts in Wills provide the steady foundation our essential work relies on. Even a small gift makes a lasting impact:
Fighting Isolation & Community
We organise regular home visits, phone check-ins, and local get-togethers so retirees stay connected with peers.
Practical Aid in Difficult Times
When unexpected hardship, illness, or financial pressures arise, we provide guidance and direct assistance.
A Lifeline for Future Generations
Your gift guarantees that upcoming generations of Civil Service retirees will always have a supportive network.
