Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As this year marks the 80th anniversary of D Day we are going all out to make this the best Christmas light display in Bristol raising money for the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans. This is a charity I hold close to my heart for the work they do with the ever declining remaining WW2 veterans that sacrificed their lives for our freedom. I’ve been involved with many activities and events involving the taxi charity and it’s amazing what they do! Thank you so much for every penny you can spare for this fabulous charity.

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.
