    Charity Name Help

    Simone - how to look good twisted is an amazing name! I'm very sorry for your loss and thank you for the gofundme recommendation. We were waiting for our registered charity number to come through and then we were going to launch a crowdfunding campaign. I hadn't considered gofundme but I will...

    Thanks Bob - urgh so annoying I didn't think to include removed charities when checking the list. Can't find any definitive answers as to whether it will be a problem for the charity commission - hope not!

    Charity Name Help

    Right, final question - I promise!! We are pretty much settled on the Sandcastle Fund now and I am itching to send off the paperwork and get on with it but my husband is very keen on the Sandcastle Trust (or secondly, The Sandcastle Foundation) and much prefers this to 'Fund'.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone it's really helped focused our minds. We have had our constitution drawn up for a while now and are very clear in what we want to do but have really struggled on the name front. Although we don't love it we are strongly leaning towards The Sandcastle Fund now...

    Charity Name Help

    Thanks ethical PR - sooooo helpful!!! We are keen to get going but completely lack confidence in any of the names we have come up with to go for it! In your experience then are charities named after someone a good idea? Does it impact on anything marketing wise? How searchable they are on...

    Charity Name Help

    Haha! Really? Do you think it's credible? Just ran it past my husband and he told me I couldn't name a charity after him until he was dead - haha! Perhaps the campaign slogan can be along the lines of #everyoneknowsadave “Everyone knows a Dave” – but did you know you are also quite likely...
