Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans is a registered charity run by London taxi drivers for the benefit of military veterans of all conflicts. The cabbies volunteer their time and vehicles to take veterans on trips to concerts and museums.

As a Bevin Boy from 1943-1947, dad proudly took his place alongside other veterans on several trips organised by the charity.

There were outings to Worthing, France and a particularly memorable one in 2014 to Oosterbeek in Holland.

Rather than offering flowers to commemorate dad’s passing, you might like to consider making a donation to this special cause that dad held very close to his heart.

To fund and facilitate these outings, the charity is wholly reliant on donations from members of the public, businesses and trusts and the amazing group of London taxi drivers who volunteer their time and vehicles so willingly.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the 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.
