No, anyone can register them - they're just for organisations - not specifically charity ones.

...and there's lots of places you can register them... hint hint

Re: Domain Names : Org
No, if you want to register one, register it - there's nothing to stop you doing it - there are lots out there done by single individuals... all I'm saying is they are primarily for organisations, same way .com is primarily for businesses

you should get sent an e-mail with details on how you can log into your user account with the registrar & do things like point it at a host DNS in order to use your domain as a website.

- also the hosting deal that company offers is pants compared to I-Web Solutions.

Lets face it, you are not hundreds of quid out of pocket, but could have got cheaper (I just hope they don't charge a fee to transfer DNS).

Glad I did not buy it from Wanadoo becuase they wanted £58.75 for 2 years.

Thanks for all the help.
