The Civil Service Retirement Fellowship is a Civil Service charity dedicated to helping retired civil servants, widows/widowers, partners and dependants enjoy a better and more fulfilling retirement.

We run a range of services (including two befriending schemes to reduce social isolation and loneliness in later life), local community groups (providing advice, educational speakers and leisure activities) and offer general information, advice and signposting to a wide range of other supportive organisations.

Our work is supported by subscriptions and donations so if you’re interested in signing up you can find out more by clicking on the sign up button on the menu to the left.

We currently operate two befriending services for our beneficiaries, the National Visitors Network and Phone Buddy service.
