The Odd Bods have a long history of supporting charity groups including Raphael, the Ryder Cheshire International Centre at Dehradun, the capital of the state of Uttarakhand in India's northern region. We are currently providing financial support for three students at Raphael.
The centre now has an instagram and facebook page. Links are below.
Latest News from Raphael: November 2021
"With the number of Covid-19 cases continuing to fall in India, there has also been an easing of restrictions.
Unfortunately that means that people are getting more casual about observing protocols that are still in place.
At Raphael we continue to maintain as strict a protocol as possible; this includes temperature check at the gate, masks at all times and constant hand sanitizing. Some of the older students are now used to the masks, but for others it hangs around the chin somewhere! All eligible staff and residents have been fully vaccinated.
There are 82 residents in the hostels now and about 50 children attend the day school, the early intervention programmes or the school readiness programmes. Parents whose children are in residence have been anxious to send them back to school. The parents of the day scholars have been a little more reluctant, but they are trickling back now.
We are now on Instagram and Facebook, thanks to our PR Officer Sanghamitra Ghosh. We have 105 followers on Instagram and over 1000 ‘likes’ on Facebook!"

Raphael provides a range of disability and rehabilitation services to the disadvantaged and was set up by ex RAF Group Captain, Leonard Cheshire (Baron Cheshire VC, OM, DSO & Two Bars, DFC), and his wife, Sue Ryder (Margaret Susan Cheshire, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw and Baroness Cheshire, CMG, OBE).
