We need your help please!
We have recently launched a project civil service wide via the Head of Communications for the civil service to try to recruit more CSSC members. Information was sent through to Government Department intranets giving ALL civil servants access to 3 Countdown offers for 2 months. We launched with ASDA, Merlin Entertainments and Superbreaks. Click here for more information.

On 1 June, intranet providers will be sent an update from the Head of Communications with new offers and a new access code allowing them access to other offers. They will then change again on 1 August and so on for the duration of a full year. This project is being supported by Sir Gus O'Donnell. If you work in a Government Department building, please have a look at your intranet and see if you can see the offer. If not, it would be great if you could contact your intranet provider to see if you can encourage them to put the information on there. After all, the more members we get, the more you will benefit!
