Rathbone was represented at the Small Charity Week Celebration Day in Russell Square on Saturday. We were hoping to find some new Trustees for the charity.
It didn't rain (hooray!) but was very windy and the Lime trees in the square played havoc with our CEO's hay fever.
The event was not awash in members of the public but it was nice to get the chance to meet lots of other charities.
Rathbone is a learning disability charity based in West Norwood, Lambeth. This blog will illustrate some of what goes on behind the scenes at Rathbone. You can find out more about our ethos and services at our website: www.rathbonesociety.org.uk where you will also find links to our other blogs.

Monday morning floods
No, not tears, an actual flood!
Monday morning at Chatsworth Way dawned to a flood of almost biblical proportions (well, about 10 inches anyway) in our basement. Heavy rain and problems with drainage in the past have caused floods before, but never so deep.
This flood, however, was not weather related or, indeed, an act of God. A hosepipe had been left out over the weekend and someone, who shall remain fully nameless, turned it on and left it.
We have lost a fair amount of equipment, supplies and some paper archives although we will need to wait a few days for the water to fully drain before the full extent of damage can be properly assessed.
Ah, Mondays.

Some wet things
