There’s been no shortage of news to share across CSPA’s groups this year.

During 2026, 52 newsletters were produced for 27 groups across the country, bringing local news, events, activities and updates to members wherever they live.

More than 8,000 newsletters were sent by post, with a further 14,000 sent by email. That’s more than 21,000 newsletters making their way to members over the course of the year.

With so much work going into keeping members informed and connected, we thought it was time to celebrate the newsletters themselves.

Every group was automatically entered into our newsletter competition, with entries judged by a group of CSPA members, assisted by our Deputy General Secretary. Newsletters were judged on their content, how interesting and relevant they were to members, and their overall look and presentation.

And after reading their way through all those newsletters, our judges chose Bournemouth group as the winner.

Congratulations to Bournemouth, and a big thank you to everyone who produces a newsletter for their group. Whether it arrives through the letterbox or lands in an inbox, every newsletter is another way of keeping members connected to what’s happening in their local CSPA community.

CSPA featured on BBC Morning Live today to highlight the continuing problems affecting members of the Civil Service Pension Scheme, particularly bereaved families facing delays in receiving the benefits they are entitled to.

While some progress has been made, significant issues remain in several key areas. Behind the statistics are thousands of pensioners facing uncertainty in retirement, alongside bereaved families waiting for pension benefits and the financial security they need at an already difficult time.

Supporting members and ensuring their concerns are heard remains CSPA's top priority. We continue to meet weekly with Cabinet Office and Capita officials to raise individual cases, challenge delays and press for faster resolutions.

These ongoing problems are causing unnecessary distress and hardship. CSPA will continue to hold those responsible to account and push for urgent action to ensure members and their families receive the service, support and payments they deserve.

📺 Watch the feature here (the segment runs from approximately 5 to 16 minutes into the programme):

Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton speak to Holly Hamilton who has been investigating pension payment delays affecting bereaved families and fighting for your consumer rights.
