Founded in 1862, The Working Men’s Club and Institute Union is now the largest non-profit making social entertainment and leisure organisation in the UK, representing the interests and views of four million club members. The CIU has two main purposes: to provide a voice at national level for working men's clubs and social clubs, and to provide discounted products and services for its members. Club members who hold a CIU Pass Card can visit other Union clubs if on holiday or working away. We are one of the 1800 associated Clubs and our Members can purchase CIU passcards to enable them to visit other Clubs throughout the Country. The CIU honours system awards service to the Club movement.
