Celebrating 100 years of good times
Celebrating 100 years of good times
It’s amazing to think that Boundless started life 100 years ago this year. Of course, we wouldn’t be celebrating at all if it wasn’t for Frank Edwards, the man who founded CSMA back in 1923, to bring people together to share adventures during their free time. A lot has changed since then, but we remain true to Frank’s values, ethos and spirit of adventure. As one of the largest membership clubs for civil servants and public service employees, we’re all about sharing good times and new experiences, and we can celebrate the club we are today because of our members. What began as a small group of enthusiastic and like-minded Civil Servants, with a passion for motoring and adventure, has grown into a thriving club of 165,000 members making the most of their free time and saving money along the way.
Boundless today
Boundless today
A century later we’re still the same club that brings people together through shared interests and adventures, but now we’re bigger and better than ever…
We are Boundless, the UK’s leading membership club for people working in or retired from the civil service or public sector. We’ve been helping members make the most of their free time for 100 years by providing member savings, events and a variety of free benefits all included in the £40 a year membership fee.

For those who give the most in society
We’re the club for people working in or retired from the civil service or public sector.
Bursting with benefits
We bring our members together through shared interests, experiences and exclusive benefits.
Built on community spirit
We support our members through local events and activities to help them make the most of their free time and meet other people who share their interests.
Member first
We’re owned by our members, which means that every penny we make goes straight back into the club so we can make our benefits even better. And it’s our members who help shape our club – now and for the future.
Exclusive
We’re exclusive, which means we understand what matters most to those working in or retired from the civil service and public sector. And it’s our exclusivity that allows us to create, tailor and secure the benefits that our members want most.
100 years and counting
We’ve come a long way since 1923, but our belief in spending good times together, discovering new experiences and sharing benefits with our members is as strong as ever.
