Story

On 9 September 2023, Taxi Charity chairman, Brian Heffernan, and treasurer, Simon Hawes, will be attempting the Thames Bridges Trek to raise much needed funds for the Taxi Charity.

They hope to be joined by quite a few volunteer cab drivers and supporters too, to raise some money for the Taxi Charity.

The 25km route zig-zags through Central London, over 16 historic bridges. They will be setting off from Putney Bridge and finishing at Tower Bridge.

Brian and Simon would love your support.

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.
