Boundless eligibility explained

Civil service
The civil service helps the government develop and implement its policies as effectively as possible by providing services to people in the UK. You are eligible to join Boundless if you currently work or have worked in any Civil Service related departments, agencies or public bodies. If you’re not sure, use the A-Z guide below to search.
Privatisation within the Civil service
Boundless, formally Civil Service Motoring Association (CSMA), has been providing support to individuals within the civil service for over a century. During this time, several privatisations have taken place, including those of British Rail, British Telecom, and Royal Mail. If you are currently employed by or have previous experience of working for a privatised company and have ties to the civil service, you are eligible to join Boundless.
Public sector
The public sector provides a range of public services. These services are funded by taxpayers and are designed to support people and communities. You are eligible to join Boundless if you currently work or have worked in any of the following areas operated or owned by the government:
Armed Forces
Education
Emergency services
Finance
Healthcare
Law enforcement
Local government
Public utilities

Retirement or resignation
Unlike some membership clubs, Boundless continues to support and inspire your free time when you retire or resign from a publicly funded organisation. You are eligible to join Boundless if you have previously worked in a publicly funded organisation at any point within your career.
