Our Charity
CSIS' very own charity, The Civil Service Widows and Orphans Fund (CSWOF), was originally founded in 1906 and is now an independent Incorporated Charity with a Board of Trustees drawn from the Public Sector.
The charity receives donations from CSIS at the end of each year
when all surplus income is pledged to
CSWOF.
Last year CSWOF received £660,000.
CSWOF in turn supports many Public Sector benevolent organisations including :-
- Civil Service Benevolent Fund
- Civil Service Retirement Fellowship
- BT Benevolent Fund
- Rowland Hill Fund
- NHS Retirement Fellowship
CSWOF is seeking to broaden its scope and work within the Public Sector community.
It will be offering grants to disabled or disadvantaged sportspeople through CSSC and HASSRA.
It is working with the Post Office Orphans Benevolent Institute to support talented children from deprived backgrounds.
The relationship between CSIS and CSWOF is a virtuous circle enabling support to be given to so many people every year. Over £3 million in the last 5 years has been donated to beneficiaries so click here to read about some of those stories.
