CSSC

CSSC positively promotes individual health and well-being and helps make that goal a reality for our many members. You can get active, try out new hobbies, activities, access hundreds of national offers and corporate rate gym membership at thousands of gyms and access massively discounted cinema tickets at all main chains.

Becoming a CSSC member gives you free entry to English Heritage and Cadw sites and free Tastecard membership. In addition up to three of your friends and family can too enjoy the benefits of being a CSSC member. Sign them up and you will receive a £10 cashback reward for each person that joins. If you are taking part in events such as triathlons, duathlons, cycling, open water swimming, chipped wheelchair events, running and assault courses (10km or more), then CSSC subsidy scheme can help with the cost!  For more information on this visit the CSSC page.
