WELCOME TO THE TAXI CHARITY
The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans was formed in Fulham in 1948.
We offer international trips to Holland, Belgium and France, day trips to concerts or museums, transport to attend fundraising events, as well as special days out to catch up with friends and comrades.
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.

The Taxi Charity has very special memories of the kindness and warmth Prince Philip showed veterans at their event in Worthing in 1979.
In the summer of 1979, the Taxi Charity was delighted that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, agreed to be guest of honour at the charity’s annual visit to the seaside town of Worthing.
Whilst we are proud of what we have achieved in 2020, we are acutely aware we could not have done so without the generous help of the many people and organisations, who despite the challenges they faced during this unprecedented time, supported us in a variety of ways. On behalf of the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all and wish you a happy, healthy 2021.
I am hugely proud to be a patron of the Taxi Charity
