CSSC (Civil Service Sports Council) Sports & Leisure is the official sports, social and leisure club for all working and retired Civil Servants and those working on Civil Service business.

CSSC Newcastle Area is the local branch of this national organisation. We have around 4,500 members and if you are working for any part of the Civil Service in any of the NE, SR1-7 or TD12 & 15 postal districts or are a retired Civil Servant living in any of these districts you are welcome to join us.

We organise trips and events and support members of CSSC in the Area who want to organise their own events. We support individual members and teams of members taking part in sports events and run regular free prize draws to win things like tickets to the home matches of NUFC/SAFC/Newcastle Falcons RFU and Durham County Cricket club.

We also have special offers on concert and cinema tickets, beer festivals, pamper days and entry to places like Beamish Open Air Museum and Alnwick Gardens .

CSSC Policies

CSSC is your organisation run by members for members.

The CSSC Newcastle Area management committee have developed a Policy Document to help make the decisions we take open and fair.

One of our most important policies is that all claims for expenses and offers must be made in advance of the event. Please take the time to read this document, to save disappointment.
