Our focus is to help our members make the most of their free time with exclusive benefits and perks, offers on everything from holidays and insurance products to their daily shop and inspirational ideas on things to do.
The country’s public services have, of course, been doing an exceptional job of late, and we’re proud to have been able to offer them a range of exclusive online offers during what has been a very difficult time.
We’re one of the UK’s biggest membership clubs, and we’ve been bringing civil servants and public-sector workers together to share interests and join in leisure activities together for over 97 years. Our participation at events around the UK has always been an essential part of what we do, and we’re already planning how to return to this when safe to do so.
Our mutuality and values are the cornerstone of our club. We’re driven by a member-first approach that fosters a great community spirit, and we’re committed to doing this in a responsible and sustainable manner so that we not only deliver value to our current members, but also make sure our club appeals to those who will join us in the future. We deliver great-value products with an exceptional level of service, and we’ll always endeavour to help improve our members’ experience.
