Fundraising for Taxi Charity For Military Veterans

Story

This Saturday I’m taking part in the Thames Bridge Trek on to raise funds for the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans. A team of Taxi Charity volunteers will trek across London and over 16 historic bridges, setting off at Putney Bridge and finishing 25km later in Southwark Park past the final crossing at Tower Bridge!

About Taxi Charity for Military Veterans

2023 is a very special year for the Taxi Charity as we celebrate our 75th anniversary. Over the years we have helped thousands of veterans. Those from the First World War are sadly long gone but we continue to work with veterans from all conflicts, including WWII, Korea, the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq.

If you can help me raise money for this amazing charity I’d be really grateful.:

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.
