## **TAXI CHARITY FOR MILITARY VETERANS TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements (“accounts”) for the year ended 30 September 2023. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objectives of the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans (TCMV) are: 

To organise outings, entertainment, transport and other support for former servicemen and women who are disabled, elderly, infirm, impoverished or otherwise in need of charitable assistance and to assist in the treatment and care of former servicemen and women who are disabled, elderly, infirm, impoverished or otherwise in need of charitable assistance by making grants of money for providing or paying for items, services or facilities. 

## **Structure Governance & Management** 

## **Governing Document** 

The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans is an unincorporated registered charity, controlled by its governing document. The trustees are appointed by election to the Board of Trustees at the Annual General Meeting. 

## **Public Benefit** 

## **How our activities deliver public benefit** 

The TCMV’s main objectives are described above. To achieve these, the Charity organises social events which the public, serving personnel and veterans alike can take part in. In normal times the Charity organises day trips in the UK and longer trips overseas to attend acts of commemoration, all of which gives civilians the opportunity to spend time with forces’ veterans, whilst providing the veterans with camaraderie and stimulation. Once the restrictions of the pandemic were lifted, one of the main ways of fundraising for the charity were collections at London stations, the Underground and football stadiums. Several of our veterans take part in these collections and this gives them a feeling of pride by giving back to the Charity along with a sense of belonging and purpose and brings them into contact with the public. These collections were started again in the Summer and are bringing in much needed funds to the Charity. We are delighted that we still have one or two World War II veterans at the collections but now it is mostly “younger” veterans from wars such as Korea and the Falklands etc. 

The Charity also enables a lifeline linking veterans with our volunteer taxi drivers, many of whom forge friendships. This is invaluable to those who are isolated and lonely. Looking after the interests of older veterans affords a form of social care, whilst giving reassurance to the local communities, as well as support to carers and veterans families. 

The Charity has formed strong links with charities such as Waterloo Uncovered, focusing on those who have physical and mental injuries. Such events offer opportunities to socialise with civilians and in so doing, help to re-establish self-confidence. This also enables the Charity to work with much younger veterans, which has to be the Charity’s aim for the future. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against safety, 

4 



fraud and error. To this end the Charity has a Safeguarding Policy, a Complaints Policy, a Conflicts of Interest Policy, a GDPR Policy and a Reserves Policy. These are reviewed, and if necessary, updated annually. 

## **Financial Review** 

The results for the separately designated funds, both restricted and unrestricted, are summarised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Fundraising** 

This year the charity has received some amazing donations and grants from the following grant making foundations, trusts and donors: ABF The Soldiers’ Charity The Princess Anne’s Charity The Aqueduct Trust The Worshipful Company of Grocers St James’s Place Foundation LIBOR Market Garden Foundation Morson International Ubiquitous Veterans Foundation Wates Foundation 

Plus, all the incredible donations that come in from veterans, their families, the general public and long-time supporters of the charity both in the UK and the Netherlands. The Charity was lucky enough to have their Annual Christmas Lunch paid for by a young entrepreneur who has become a great friend of the charity. He also donated the day at Biggin Hill for the World War II veterans. 

Events that took place this year that also raised money were Cabbies Row the Atlantic, an incredible achievement by three London Taxi Drivers, and the Thames Bridge Walk, where one walker, Kaz Donald, raised over £17000. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The current Reserves Policy states that £35000 should be kept aside for emergencies and current unrestricted reserves exceed this amount. 

## **Communications** 

The taxicharity.org website is brimming with stories about veterans and events that have taken place this year. This is continually updated by the Charity’s PR and Social Media consultants. The amazing cards that are designed in house, continue to receive a very warm welcome from veterans and their families, reminding them of the military anniversaries that take place each year. 

## **Events that took place throughout 2022-2023** 

The Charity’s 120 Black Cab Drivers have continued, free of charge, to take veterans and their families to events that have taken place throughout the year. 

5 



**October 2022.** The London Black Cabs took veterans to the Unveiling of the Desert Rats Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. 

**December 2022.** The London Cab Drivers brought veterans and their families to the Annual Christmas Lunch which was held at the Millwall Football Club. 

**February 2023.** A lunch was held at the RAF Club in London for mostly RAF veterans from World War II. The national press spent some time with these veterans and this was put out on the national news later that day. As usual the London Black Cab drivers brought the veterans and their families to the lunch and then took them home after the event or to their trains. 

The Charity took a table at the London Ex-Boxers’ Association lunch and we invited guests from the Parachute Regiment. 

**March 2023.** Four World War II Veterans were at the RAF Club for tea to celebrate International Women’s Day. As usual the London Cab Drivers brought them to the Club and took them home. Once again, the national press was present and interviewed the ladies about their war experiences. 

**May 2023.** Once again, twenty London taxis took veterans and their families and carers to the celebration of the Liberation of the Netherlands. The welcome the veterans receive on these occasions is amazing with families and children running up to the cabs with bunches of flowers. 

**June 2023.** The annual visit to Normandy to take part in the 79th Anniversary of the D-day Landings was represented by World War II veterans, one, who was 102, has maintained that he will be at the 80th Anniversary in 2024 when he will be over 103. There were sixteen taxis on this trip and, as always, the veterans, carers and families are taken to the Anniversary free of charge. 

**July 2023.** The Annual trip to Worthing took place. This trip was the first event the Taxi Charity arranged in 1948. This year, however, there were many Younger Veterans. As usual the Taxi Charity stopped off at South Holmwood Village in Surrey where they were treated to sandwiches, cakes and coffee etc. and a wonderful welcome. Drivers brought the veterans from all over London and the Home Counties. 

Two taxis and a Younger Veteran provided transport and bike repair support to Waterloo Uncovered’s Waterloo to Waterloo charity bike ride. 

**September 2023.** The annual visit to Renkum took place with members of the charity taking part in the Wandeltocht Airborne March. There were eleven London Taxis who took veterans and their families and carers to the event. 

Four Taxis took five veterans to Arnhem for the annual Operation Market Garden commemorations. 

A visit took place for World War II Veterans and their families to be taken to Biggin Hill to see the Spitfire Museum with one Younger Veteran being given a flight in a Spitfire. 

Mission Motorsport invited the Taxi Charity to their Annual Day at Goodwood, which enabled veterans and Taxi Drivers alike to be taken round the Goodwood motor racing circuit 

6 



in very fast sports cars. The taxis. of which there were Cleve￿ were then invited to do three
laps of the course following the race control car.
The Charity has started to pro￿lde transport for the Royal Hospital Chelsea's Outreach
programme and we look fon¥ard to assisting fi￿er in the conling year.
Sadly, the T&xi Drivers have taken many veterans to funerals of World War IE veterans this
year. This is always a sad occasion bui the veterans are all ov¢r 98 years of age and the
families really appreciate the help they receive from the Charity on these occasions.
Future Plans
2024 will see the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings and the charity will be tsking t￿•th
old and nol so old veterans and their families and careTS to this event. It will also be the 80
Anniversary of Arnhem and it is intended that the Charity will also attend this evenL
The Charity has been invited to attend the Li[￿tIOn of the Netherlands again in 2024, the
Wandeltocht Airborne March and many other events abroad and in the UK. These will
include the annual trip to Worthing and the Christmas Lun¢h. All this will be dependent on
whether the Charity is able to raise the funds to support tbese events.

These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents<br>with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash<br>commitments as they fall due.<br>They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.<br>Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of<br>less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments<br>Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable<br>value.<br>Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on<br>the service potential provided by items of stock.<br>Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.<br>The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical<br>substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights.
