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. 4 ## **TAXI CHARITY FOR MILITARY VETERANS - TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** ## **Fundraising and Donors** This year the Charity has received donations and grants from the Veterans Foundation, the Army Benevolent Fund, De Airborne Wandeltocht and the Julia Rausing Trust. In addition, we have received thousands of pounds in donations from veterans, their families, the public and long-time supporters of the charity both in the UK and the Netherlands. Charity ambassador Johnny Gallagher arranged a fundraising campaign with WWII veteran Dorothea Barron which raised money to help fulfil the last wishes of WWII veterans. Richard Iles decked his home in Winterbourne near Bristol, with Christmas lights. Six-year-old Alfred Mawson walked, ran and cycled 100 miles and smashed his original fundraising target. The Chairman and two of his brothers walked the Coast to Coast. Our ambassador Chris Willmott completed an impressive challenge, cycling from Auschwitz to Arnhem on a 1940’s bicycle. The Duchess of Kent Public House arranged a fundraising day, Babette Powell ran the London Marathon. Jacoline Rutgers worked tirelessly raising funds in the Netherlands. ## **Reserves Policy** The Reserves Policy states that £50,000 should be kept 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, 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. Our events depend on the support of our volunteer drivers, whose goodwill makes everything possible. In recent years, they have faced sharply rising costs tied to being Licensed London cab drivers. 5 ## **TAXI CHARITY FOR MILITARY VETERANS - TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** ## _**October 2024**_ The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans assisted the Royal British Legion with London Poppy Day by moving staff, guests, veterans and merchandise around the capital.

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.

Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below._ |**Recognition of income**
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
**Investment gains and**
**losses**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the
donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift
and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or
the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Support costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Volunteer help**
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
• it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
**Donated goods**
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
**Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required
or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period

comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and
good practice.

costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

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.

the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date
