CSRF: Civil Service Retirement Fellowship

Charity registered in Scotland SC039049

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

We operate a range of welfare, volunteering and leisure activities all run and supported by volunteers.

We currently have two befriending schemes, the Phone Buddy scheme and National Visitors Network which provide telephone based friendship calls and home visits to any beneficiary experiencing loneliness or social isolation.

In addition, we are also available to offer signposting, help and advice on a whole range of subjects.


Current opportunities

We are looking for volunteer visitors to join the National Visitors Network, our national befriending scheme for older people that provides companionship to older people experiencing loneliness or social isolation. Befrienders visit older people in their homes and provide regular chat/conversations (weekly/fortnightly or monthly as determined). Full training and good ongoing support is provided to all volunteers. A great, enjoyable opportunity to help and make a real difference.
