TAXI CHARITY FOR MILITARY VETERANS - TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements (“accounts”) for the year ended 30th September 2025.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans 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 lonely or 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 volunteer trustees are appointed by election to the Board of Trustees at the Annual General Meeting.

Public Benefit

How our activities deliver public benefit -

The Taxi Charity for Military Veteran’s main objectives are described above.

To achieve this, the Charity organises social events which the public, serving personnel and veterans alike can participate in. The Charity organises day trips in the UK and longer trips overseas to attend acts of commemoration, all of which affords civilians the opportunity to spend time with forces’ veterans, whilst providing the veterans with camaraderie and stimulation.

One of the main ways of fundraising for the charity are collections at London Underground stations. Several of our veterans take part in these collections and this gives them a feeling of pride along with a sense of belonging and purpose and brings them into contact with the public. These collections bring in much-needed funds for the Charity.

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.

Risk Management

The Trustees are responsible for identifying and reviewing the risks faced by the Charity and for ensuring that suitable controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against safety issues, fraud, and error. To this end the Charity has a Safeguarding Policy, a Code of Conduct Policy and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, a Complaints Policy, a Conflicts of Interest Policy, a GDPR Policy, a Risk Policy and a Reserves Policy. These policies are reviewed annually.

Financial Review

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

Communications

The taxicharity.org website is brimming with stories about veterans and events that have taken place this year, which the charity’s PR and Social Media consultants continually update. The monthly cards, designed in-house continue to receive a very warm response from veterans and their families, reminding them of the military anniversaries that take place each year.

Events during the reporting period, 2024-2025

The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans would like to express its thanks to the 120 volunteer Licensed London Black Cab Drivers who have generously given their time to support the trips and events organised by us throughout the year.

TAXI CHARITY FOR MILrrARY VEfERANS - TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT Our Impact "To everyone involved with the Taxi Charlty top to bottom, who made not just this trip, but all trips this year for WWII and post WWII veterans possible, THANK YOUI Your kindness, compassion and dedication have created an unforyettable experience not just for myself but particularly the WWII golden era. You've given us veterans a chance to revisit memories, reconnect with fellow veterans and feel the gratitude of different nations. i? Your selflessne55 and generosity have touched hearts, and your efforts will be cherished forever. You're helping keep veterans, stortes and sacrifices alive, ensuring their bravery and service are never forgotten. Thank you for your tireless work, kindness and respect. You've made a profound impatt on our lives, and I think I speak for every veteran you have ever helped. We're forever grateful.- Chris Langford, Veteran who served with the Princess of Wales Regiment. WWII veteran Dorothea Barron, who served as a Royal Navy Wren said, "I am incredibly grateful to the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans for the opportunity they have given me to speak about my wartime service. It has been amazing to have my contribution to WWII acknowledged at last and that wouldn't have happened without the Charfty belng interested in my history. In fatt, wlthout the Charity's hard work, I wouldn't even have my war medal. Their support for us veterans has made visits to Normandy and Arnhem Possible. People's interest in my life in the WRNS has reinvigorated this 100-year-old person. As a little gid my mother told me of the generosity of the London taxi drivers who used to take poor London children to the seaside. I never imagined some 90 years later I would be a.beneficiary of the Taxi Charity myself." The Taxi Charitys Future Plans Our plans are dependent on donations and grants from Trusts, Foundations, our supporters and friends and the availability of our volunteer drivers. We hope to arrange trips to the Eastboume Airshow, Worthing, Ypres, the Netherlands and Normandy and distribute a monthly newsletter to our supporters. Report compiled by Colin Mills.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
