This has got to be satire - “Charity Buglife” and “Craig Macadam” - this is the stuff of jokes!

“Charity Buglife” is not a person..."Charity" is capitalized because it's at the start of the sentence.

Read it as:
"The charity 'Buglife' . . ."

And the road-construction term "macadam" is named after a person with the family name, "McAdam" or "MacAdam" (specifically, "John Loudon McAdam," not to be confused with Senator John Loudon)...but "Macadam" is also a name common in Scotland. Note that "tarmac" is from "tar-bound macadam," not an invention of Dr. MacTar. :-)
