I haven't personally come across that name, but I wouldn't doubt for a minute that it is The Family. I suggest you read, if you haven't already, the article on this website on their policy of deliberately lying to and misleading the public. Using alternative names and front organizations, whether real or false, has been how TF operates almost from its inception. They do this in their so-called ministries such as the one you describe and also in their fund-raising efforts. And if they don't use a phony front, they will try to disingenuously associate themselves with legitimate organizations. For example, after the disaster in New Orleans, they used publicity photos showing current members underneath the banner of the Red Cross to imply that they were officially associated with that venerable organization, which they are not. Another tactic they use is to create legitimate front organizations such as Family Care Foundation, and then claim that there is no connection between FCF and TF. You will even find some current members still arguing that the Children of God and The Family International are two different organizations. That is how self-deluded they are.
I am glad you are vigilant concerning this cult's operations in the UK.
