Dragons on the canal 1/05/2008
Dragon Boat Racing returns for the sixth time to Paddington Basin on Thursday 26 June, 6-9pm. As well as a great social and team-building event, it also provides the opportunity for teams to raise much needed funds for local charities.

Are your stakeholders involved enough? 16/04/2008
The Charities Aid Foundation has produced a report into ‘The role of stakeholder engagement in corporate community investment (CCI)’. As CCI is increasingly integrated into core business, the direction is driven more and more by the role of stakeholders, in particular, shareholders, employees, customers and local communities. Recognition of this involvement provides added benefits to companies in understanding expectations and improving success of CCI programmes.
A giant plug for Paddington! 19/03/2008
A giant plug has been attracting much interest in Paddington Basin. Designed by James Glancy, the huge plug and hole was installed on the floor of the empty canal in Paddington Basin. The canal was drained in February to allow construction work at Merchant Square and the developers, European Land and Property, commissioned the work to create a visual focal point. The 'Plug and Hole' took six men to install and will remain in place until the end of the summer, when the basin is refilled.
