About Boundless

The membership club for fun and new experiences

It’s amazing to think that Boundless started life more than 100 years ago. 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

Over 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 since 1923 by providing member savings, events and a variety of free benefits all included from just £40 a year.

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.
