Story

The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans is very close to my heart. It is run by amazing volunteers who do incredible work. Founded by three London cab drivers, in 1948, whilst sitting in the Bedford Arms, in Fulham, nobody could have foreseen that it would develop into such an important part of many veterans and cab drivers lives.

Having witnessed this work, first-hand, I decided that instead of having a birthday party, to celebrate my 60th, I would raise money for this wonderful cause. This is where you come in…

On 9 September 2023 you will find me on the Thames Bridges Trek. I'll be walking 25km and crossing 16 historic bridges. It would be fantastic if, rather than buying me a birthday present, you could sponsor me. Now I know that some of you have already been very generous and given me a gift so this request goes out to the rest of you – you know who you are.

2023 is the 75th anniversary of the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans. A cause for celebration – just like my BIG birthday!

Please give what you can…

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.
