About Us
We are well known for our outings to the seaside when convoys of London taxis decked in balloons and banners take excited children and their helpers for a fun day out. We also organise and hold exciting events for children including trips to the theatre and christmas parties.
Yet our work is so much more. We deal with many appeals to help children. Our volunteers fundraise through donations, sponsorship, support and social events including dinner dances, raffles and film premieres which allows us to continue our important work in assisting children in need of help.
Throughout our 90 year history we have assisted with many appeals providing essential funding for the purchase of recreational, technology and mobility equipment for children, schools and hospices and we rely on your generosity to do it.
We are honoured and privileged to have Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall as our Patron.
Our History
Our humble beginnings can be traced back to 1928. That first taxi outing became the start of a custom, which has since become a famous sight to behold in London each year.
We are proud that our evolution has been built on the dedication of the volunteer committee, the volunteering of the hundreds of London taxi drivers who drive at our outings and events and the kindness of your donations and support.
Effective management of donations, no salaries taken, no dividends paid ensures that your donations are maximised and your kindhearted generosity ensures our continued success.

Notes of Thanks
A great cause which is made extra special by the kindness is our London cab drivers.
Such a worthwhile charity making a beautiful difference in the world. My partner is involved and the care and love given by these drivers is wonderful.
Great cause and very proud to support.
As a working London cabbie myself I understand just what the organisers and drivers are giving up to make this happen, and I can’t think of a more worthwhile cause than looking after our young sick, disadvantaged kids and their families. A great big well done to everyone involved 👏👏👏👏❤️
Keep doing what you’re doing because it DOES make a difference ❤️💙
