CIArb launches new benefits for members

CIArb News / 10 November 2009

CIArb has introduced a range of excellent new benefits for UK members, through its CIArb Advantage scheme.

Dining and childcare are just two of the new areas in which you can save money as a CIArb member.

Dine out for less

You can eat out for less with a Gourmet Society Dining Card, which gives you 2-for-1 meals or 25% off your bill including drinks, at a wide variety of participating establishments. Use your dining card to entertain clients or just enjoy a night out.

The Gourmet Society has teamed up with over 3,000 leading restaurants across the UK, from Michelin-starred establishments to award-winning independents and familiar names like Pizza Express, Loch Fyne and Prezzo.

An annual subscription usually costs £53.50, but as a member of CIArb you can join for just £24.95 and get 2 months extra FREE. That means 14 months of restaurant savings for just £24.95.

You must be a member of CIArb to take advantage of this deal. Simply visit: www.ciarb.org/members/advantage/ and enter your membership login details. You will find full information on how to access the deals, and there is also a dedicated telephone number that you can call.

Save on childcare

Did you know that you could save a huge amount on childcare with Computershare Voucher Services, the UK's largest dedicated provider of childcare vouchers? Eligible working parents can get genuine savings up to £1,196* per parent, per year on registered childcare costs for children up to the age of 15 (16 for those with special needs).

Special deal for employers

Employers too can save through the scheme as childcare vouchers are exempt from National Insurance contributions. CIArb Advantage has negotiated a special deal which means that CIArb members who are employers qualify for the best savings possible.

About the scheme

Tax-free and exempt from National Insurance contributions, childcare vouchers help you save money on registered childcare. You simply exchange a part of your salary for the same amount of childcare vouchers, which can then be used to pay for nurseries, nannies, childminders, au pairs, out of school clubs, holiday schemes, activity camps and qualifying childcare offered by schools, including boarding fees.

Childcare vouchers are offered to you through your employer. They are part of the government's work/life balance scheme and are supported by HMRC.
