Good suggestion! The British have quite the tradition of secret organisations with no actual name, referred to by the name of a building or locality where the people who work for it go to work or train (e.g. "Bletchley Park") or even a Whitehall postal designation to which its correspondence goes. The Secret Intelligence Service had no name until 1994. (A lot of people thought it was MI6, but in fact it wasn't.) So you could just call the thing "Kilburn House", "Maidenhythe", or "Down Street".

Another thing that I would suggest would be to refer to the organisation in its research activities as something like "The Walsingham Scholarships", and in its more physical activities as an athletic club of some sort: "Marlborough Gymnasium", "Holyhead Paintball Club", or "Keswick Fellwalkers".
