I said i'm still not happy as under copyright laws it's classed a theft and under the terms of there site it says they own all images and there copyrighted so i want to take this farther so someone from there press office is going to phone me tomorrow

Not a theft. Theft is when you deliberately deprive somebody of something that belongs to them. You still had the image, so it's not theft, just an infringement of copyright.

I'd just leave it now. They've taken it down, they've apologised - what else do you want them to do?

Very cool, a moral win for you and a charity gained, whilst they learn a little lesson. Win win win.
