Protecting our identity - trademark application successful

The charity has successfully obtained its trademark to protect the name of the organisation.

We have used the name for over two years and have noticed some other unofficial organisations using names very similar to ours in the last few months. This has led to concerned contact from supporters that people may be posing as our charity.

The charity took the reluctant step to apply for its trademark in June and following the required due process, obtained confirmation of its trademark today.

The charity will defend its identity forcefully when required, initially by writing directly to those who may in the future take our name.
