Rob, I suggest placing each of the names into a search engine like Google, I tried a couple and they reveal lots of data.

Hello Rob, Rod and Listers, Of the list of societies, clubs etc listed as being connected to a Anglican church, only the Mothers Union and the Church of England Mens Society are national or universal organizations within the Church of England. The others are individual parish clubs etc. Hope this helps.
