Search the Charity Commission register at register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk. Your name must not be identical or too similar to an existing charity. Also check Companies House if registering as a CIO or company.
A good charity name is: memorable, easy to spell and say, descriptive of your mission, and available as a domain name. Avoid overly long names, acronyms that mean nothing to outsiders, or names too similar to existing organisations.
Yes, but it requires a formal resolution by trustees, an amendment to your governing document, and notification to the Charity Commission. It's easier to get it right first time.
If your charity has an annual income over £5,000, you must register with the Charity Commission. The name is registered as part of this process. CIOs must register regardless of income.
