There are tens of thousands of charities in the UK so the law of averages suggests there will be some abstractly-titled one which occurs in a station name somewhere...

Just thinking about the local line, I can think of Charities with names of Welshpool, Newtown, Machynlleth, Borth and Aberystwyth.
Haven't found one for Caersws yet.

There might be charities with those placenames in their names but surely there's no charity whose full name is Welshpool or Newtown or whatever?

There are stations named for public houses, military bases and football teams so why not charities?

Christ's Hospital is commonly described as a 'charity school' and is served by a station of the same name.
