It goes without saying that the last few years have presented council and local authority staff with real life challenges, while the cost of living continues to bite.
The Civil Service Sports Council (CSSC) – a not-for-profit organisation supported by the Cabinet Office – provides fantastic sports, leisure offers, member benefits and discounts to more than 130,000 members.
Our members come from across the public sector, including the civil service, local authorities, housing associations, the NHS, health authorities, blue light services, schools and colleges.
I joined CSSC as CEO last year because I believe that sports and recreation have a huge amount to add to the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of us all.
As an organisation rooted in supporting life’s true champions, it is more important than ever that our service provides opportunities to save money and enjoy fitness and leisure daily.
We provide our members with the ability to enjoy fitness and leisure activities as well as more than 4,000 ways for them to save money daily.
For example, CSSC members can access discounts and savings to enjoy days out across the UK, including huge savings on local and national gym memberships, sports centres, zoos and amusement parks.
Some of the other ways that members can save is through our cashback scheme. Every time a member orders or tops up a reloadable gift card or orders a digital voucher for a retailer through the platform, they get a percentage of the value back in their CSSC savings account as cashback.
Members can also offset rising bills by getting up to £90 cashback at leading mobile and broadband suppliers including 02, Plusnet, Virgin Media, Vodafone, EE and BT.
Our members are truly deserving of our support – they are the nation’s true champions and the unsung heroes who put the ‘Great’ in Great Britain.
If we can do more to help them enjoy the benefits of CSSC membership and thereby enjoy longer, happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives with their loved ones, then our job is done.
