Welcome
The purpose of this site which will operate in conjunction with our Newsletter (see links) is to inform our Members about what we are doing and why and MORE IMPORTANTLY TO GIVE OUR MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON WHAT WE ARE DOING AND TO TELL US WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO. The site will tend to approach matters from a Manchester perspective but, since much of what we do will flow from Campaigns run by our National Organisation (often in conjunction with the National Pensioners Convention), we would welcome comments from any Member of the Civil Service Pensioners Alliance wherever you may live. Indeed, much of what we campaign about will effect all Pensioners, therefore comments from anybody who has the interests of Pensioners at heart will be welcome.
