Welcome
Welcome to the Crawley and District group of the Civil Service Pensioners' Alliance (CSPA). Find out more about us, where we meet and what we do. 

We are a friendly group centred on Crawley but  also covering East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Horley, Horsham, Redhill and Reigate areas with approximately 380 members. The group holds monthly meetings except in January when there is no meeting and in August when we hold a summer lunch.

Group meetings combine discussions on local and national campaigning activities and policies and also include entertaining guest speakers who will send you home smiling. 

We try to hold the seven local constituency MPs to account on policy issues not just affecting CSPA members but those affecting pensioners on a more general basis.
