Fast Eddie's Blog: Blackfriars Collection

Hello out there, As you may know, we had our final collection yesterday (30 April 2015) at Blackfriars. Well, I say collection but it was more like an event!

Fast Eddie's Blog: Veterans' lunch at NCSSC

On Thursday 5 March 2015, we held a lunch for 100 veterans and 20 or so guests, sponsors and friends at the North Cheam Sports and Social Club (NCSSC), courtesy of the Taxi Charity's good friend and sponsor, Tony Mallard. Veterans made their way to Morden underground station for about midday and from there they were picked by our London taxi drivers and ferried to the club at Cheam.
