Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Ubiquitous is an enthusiastic supporter of The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans, so in 2019 to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings, six of us will be jumping from a perfectly good plane, to raise money for this excellent organisation.

As the name suggests, this is a 'taxi charity' - London's black cabbies volunteer their time and resources to raise money for the charity and to accompany veterans on outings, to events or even simply to the supermarket for the weekly shop.

The Taxi Charity represents the very best of Londoners, helping the very best of British. 

Help us to help them by sponsoring our skydive with the Red Devils.




About the charity

The Taxi Charity For Military Veterans (formerly known as the London Taxi Benevolent Association For War Disabled) was formed in Fulham in 1948. Its object then was to help war veterans, in their homes and hospitals, throughout London and the home counties, by providing entertainment, outings and much needed specialised equipment. Our aim now is simple: to work for the benefit, comfort and enjoyment of military veterans, to the best of our ability. For our annual Worthing outing, we now collect veterans from all over London, including the Royal Hospital Chelsea and other Veterans' Homes, as well as those who still live in their own homes. This amounts to over 300 ex-service men and women and over 130 taxis. In order to fund these outings, we seek donations from the general public and organisations, and we rely on volunteer London licensed taxi drivers to provide their taxis and time for free.
