Website terms

Last updated: 19 September 2026

1. About us

This website is operated by THE LEIGH FOB CIC ("Leigh FOB", "we", "us" or "our").

THE LEIGH FOB CIC is a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee.

Company number: 17400222

Registered office: 16 Cromer Drive, Atherton, Manchester, England, M46 0QE

Official website: https://theleighfob.co.uk

THE LEIGH FOB CIC exists to support veterans, serving personnel, reservists, their families and the wider Armed Forces community through community activity, peer support, information, signposting and related initiatives.

These terms apply to your use of this website.

By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.

2. Purpose of this website

This website provides information about THE LEIGH FOB CIC, its activities, community, events, support services, partners and opportunities to get involved.

Information provided through the website is intended primarily for general information, community support and signposting.

The website is not intended to replace professional medical, mental health, legal, financial, housing, welfare, benefits or other specialist advice.

Where appropriate, we may direct or signpost visitors to third-party organisations that provide specialist services.

3. Emergency and urgent support

THE LEIGH FOB CIC is not an emergency service.

If you or somebody else is in immediate danger, call 999 or attend the nearest Accident and Emergency department.

If you need urgent medical or mental-health support, you should contact the NHS or another appropriate emergency or specialist service.

Information provided on this website, through social media or by Leigh FOB volunteers should not be treated as emergency, clinical or medical advice.

4. Information and signposting

We aim to keep the information on this website accurate, useful and up to date.

However:

• information may change;
• external services may change their eligibility criteria or availability;
• events may be amended or cancelled;
• third-party contact details or links may change;
• information may occasionally contain errors or omissions.

You should verify important information directly with the relevant organisation before relying upon it.

Where Leigh FOB introduces, refers or signposts you to another organisation, that organisation remains responsible for the services it provides.

5. No professional relationship

Using this website or contacting Leigh FOB does not, by itself, create a professional adviser/client, medical practitioner/patient, solicitor/client or other regulated professional relationship.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Leigh FOB does not provide regulated medical, psychological, legal, financial or similar professional services.

Our role may include listening, peer support, practical community support and helping people identify appropriate specialist organisations.

6. Eligibility and access to Leigh FOB activities

Information on this website may describe activities, meetings, groups, support opportunities and events operated or supported by Leigh FOB.

Participation may be subject to:

• available capacity;
• location or venue requirements;
• safeguarding requirements;
• eligibility criteria;
• appropriate standards of behaviour;
• health and safety requirements; and
• any specific terms notified for an event or activity.

Publication of an activity on the website does not guarantee availability or admission.

We may reasonably refuse or withdraw access to an event, activity or service where necessary to protect participants, volunteers, staff, property or the wider community.

7. Events

Event dates, locations, speakers, activities and arrangements may change.

We will make reasonable efforts to keep event information current, but we cannot guarantee that an event will take place exactly as originally advertised.

Where an event has specific booking, cancellation or payment terms, those terms will be provided separately and will apply in addition to these website terms.

8. Donations and fundraising

Where the website enables or links to donations, donations are made to support the community-interest activities of THE LEIGH FOB CIC.

Any specific payment or donation terms displayed at the point of donation will also apply.

If you believe you have made a donation in error, contact us promptly and we will consider the circumstances in accordance with applicable law and the rules of the relevant payment provider.

We will not describe a donation as eligible for Gift Aid unless the legal requirements for Gift Aid are satisfied.

The presence of fundraising information on this website does not mean that Leigh FOB is a registered charity unless expressly stated.

9. Volunteers and applications

Submitting an expression of interest, volunteer enquiry, partnership enquiry or similar form does not guarantee that an application will be accepted.

Depending on the nature of the role, we may require:

• identity checks;
• references;
• safeguarding checks;
• DBS checks;
• training;
• evidence of qualifications; or
• other reasonable checks.

These requirements will be explained where applicable.

10. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website is owned by, licensed to, or used with permission by THE LEIGH FOB CIC.

This may include:

• written content;
• branding;
• logos;
• photographs;
• graphics;
• illustrations;
• videos;
• downloadable documents;
• page designs; and
• other original materials.

You may view, print or download reasonable extracts for your own personal and non-commercial use.

You must not, without our prior written permission:

• reproduce substantial parts of the website;
• copy or commercially exploit our branding or artwork;
• create misleading copies of the website;
• represent yourself as Leigh FOB;
• use our materials in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership or affiliation where none exists;
• alter our materials and present them as official Leigh FOB materials; or
• use our name, branding or materials unlawfully.

Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of any intellectual property to you.

11. LEIGH FOB trade mark

LEIGH FOB™ is used as a trade mark by THE LEIGH FOB CIC.

UK trade mark application UK00004447565 was filed on 18 September 2026 and is currently pending.

The use of ™ does not represent that the mark has already completed registration.

You may not use the LEIGH FOB name, branding or any confusingly similar sign in a manner that falsely suggests that a website, organisation, service, social account, event or activity is operated by, endorsed by, affiliated with or authorised by THE LEIGH FOB CIC.

12. Leigh FOB logo and branding

The Leigh FOB logo and associated branding may be protected by copyright, trade mark rights and other intellectual-property rights.

Unless we give permission, you must not use the logo in a way that:

• suggests you represent Leigh FOB;
• suggests an organisation is an official partner;
• creates confusion about the source of a service or organisation;
• is misleading;
• damages the integrity of the branding; or
• infringes intellectual-property rights.

Approved partners may be provided with separate brand-use permission.

13. Photographs, stories and testimonials

The website may contain photographs, videos, stories or testimonials involving members of the Leigh FOB community.

You must not extract, republish or reuse such material in a way that is misleading, exploitative, unlawful or likely to infringe somebody's privacy or other rights.

Where an individual shares a story, photograph, video or other material with us for publication, we may agree separately how that material may be used.

14. Material you send to us

If you send us photographs, stories, testimonials, written material or other content for possible publication, you must have the right to provide that material to us.

Unless otherwise agreed, by expressly asking us to publish material you grant THE LEIGH FOB CIC a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use that material for the purposes for which it was supplied, including publication through our website and official communications.

You remain responsible for obtaining any necessary permission from identifiable people appearing in material you supply.

Our handling of personal information is also subject to our Privacy Policy.

15. Acceptable use

You must not use this website:

• unlawfully;
• fraudulently;
• to impersonate Leigh FOB or another person;
• to harass, threaten or abuse another person;
• to transmit malicious software;
• to attempt unauthorised access to our website, systems or accounts;
• to interfere with the operation or security of the website;
• to scrape or harvest personal information unlawfully;
• to publish defamatory or unlawful material; or
• in any manner likely to harm Leigh FOB, its members, volunteers, visitors or community.

We may restrict or block access where reasonably necessary to protect the website or its users.

16. External websites and organisations

Our website may contain links to external websites, organisations, social-media platforms and support services.

These links are provided for convenience and signposting.

Unless expressly stated, a link does not necessarily mean that:

• we endorse the organisation;
• the organisation endorses us;
• a formal partnership exists; or
• we control the external service.

We are not responsible for the content, security, availability or privacy practices of third-party websites.

Visitors should review the relevant organisation's own terms and privacy information.

17. Partner organisations

Where we expressly identify an organisation as a partner, supporter, sponsor or collaborator, the nature of that relationship may vary.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, neither party has authority to enter into obligations on behalf of the other.

18. Website availability

We aim to keep the website available and secure but do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

We may:

• change the website;
• update content;
• remove content;
• suspend parts of the website;
• carry out maintenance; or
• discontinue features.

We are not responsible for temporary unavailability caused by circumstances reasonably outside our control.

19. Viruses and security

We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the website but cannot guarantee that the website will always be completely free from viruses, malware or other harmful material.

You are responsible for using appropriate security software and protecting your own devices.

You must not knowingly introduce malicious code or attempt to compromise the website or its infrastructure.

20. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
• any other liability which cannot legally be excluded.

Subject to this, THE LEIGH FOB CIC is not responsible for losses arising solely from:

• reasonable reliance on general information which should have been verified with an appropriate professional or service;
• changes to third-party services;
• third-party websites;
• events outside our reasonable control; or
• temporary website unavailability.

Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights that you may have.

21. Personal information

When you provide personal information through the website, we will handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

This may include information submitted through:

• contact forms;
• support enquiries;
• volunteering forms;
• event registrations;
• newsletters;
• partnership enquiries;
• testimonials; or
• other communications.

Please avoid sending highly sensitive information through general website forms unless the form specifically requests it.

22. Cookies and similar technologies

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy.

Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be used until appropriate consent has been obtained.

You can change your cookie preferences through the website's cookie controls where available.

23. Linking to this website

You may link to publicly accessible pages of this website provided that you do so fairly and lawfully.

You must not create a link which:

• falsely suggests affiliation or endorsement;
• misrepresents Leigh FOB;
• places the website inside misleading framing;
• is connected with unlawful or misleading content; or
• otherwise damages or exploits our reputation unfairly.

We may request removal of a link where there is a legitimate reason to do so.

24. Official website and official accounts

The official primary website of THE LEIGH FOB CIC is:

https://theleighfob.co.uk

Our official social-media accounts will be linked from that website.

The existence of another website, social-media account, page or group using the words "Leigh FOB" does not by itself mean that it is operated or authorised by THE LEIGH FOB CIC.

Where there is uncertainty, users should verify official channels through theleighfob.co.uk.

25. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms where necessary, including where:

• the website changes;
• our services change;
• applicable law changes; or
• we introduce new website features.

The latest version will be published on this page with the date of the most recent update.

Continued use of the website following an update will be subject to the current version of these terms.

26. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

27. No waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a right under these terms, that does not mean that we have waived that right.

28. Governing law

These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights that apply to consumers or other users.
