I spent the day helping these guys out today:

If they are a registered charity they should have the charity number prominently displayed on their website - there are too many scams going on and doesn't look good!

They are a genuine thing, but have only been going a couple of months. Not sure they even have a website, only the Facebook page. One of the founders is a solicitor, so I expect they're aware of stuff like that (at least I hope the would be).

It doesn't say on the website that they are a registered charity, but it DOES say that on the FB page.
Was going to contact them and point it out but the website seems a bit clonky - or maybe it just doesn't like my computer! - and I couldn't find any 'contact us' bit.

It does say on a few pages on their site that they are a charity. Nice find Kwak, I couldn't see it anywhere
I got into it by accident by designed their graphic thingy after a forum request went out for a logo. (we're all on the Wiltshire Bikers forum):
