Take Me and NSPCC: Raising Over £15,000 for a Worthy Cause
Take Me, leading national taxi company operating in over 30 towns and cities, has successfully concluded its 12-month charity partnership with NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children). This incredible collaboration led to an impressive £15,200 being raised to support vulnerable children across the UK.
Over the past year, our staff and customers in Birmingham, Leicester, and in other cities contributed to this meaningful cause. Small donations added to taxi fares played a significant role in reaching this milestone. The dedication and generosity shown throughout this partnership highlight Take Me’s commitment to making a real difference in local communities.
Take Me and NSPCC: The Inspiration Behind the Partnership
David Hunter, CEO of Take Me, reflected on the inspiration for this charity initiative.
“We visited Childline in Birmingham in 2023, a city where our taxis operate daily. That visit was truly inspiring, and I knew we had to do everything we could to support NSPCC.”
With a presence in Birmingham, Leicester, and many other locations, we understands the importance of giving back to communities. This charity partnership was a chance to use an extensive network as a taxi company to drive positive change for children in need.
Take Me and NSPCC: Celebrating the Success of the Partnership
To mark the conclusion of this impactful partnership, Take Me’s leadership team met with representatives from NSPCC on January 29th at the National Training Centre in Beaumont Leys, Leicester. The event was a chance to officially hand over the donation and celebrate the collective effort that made it possible.
We were warmly welcomed by NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) team members Haidee, Richard, Sam, and Vikki. The visit included a tour of the facility and a heartfelt discussion on how the funds raised will be used to support children in need.
Take Me and NSPCC: The Real Impact of the Donations
Sam Paterson, Corporate Partnerships Manager at nspcc (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), shared his thoughts:
“We have been delighted to work with the team at Take Me. Their support has made a real difference both nationally and in local offices across the UK.”
Vikki Dutton, Head of Customer Service and Operations, emphasized the importance of the collaboration:
“On both a national and local level, the partnership between nspcc and Take Me has worked incredibly well.”
In addition to fundraising, Take Me supported events like NSPCC a major annual fundraising week in Leicester. By donating prizes and promoting the event via social media, Take Me expanded the reach and impact of this vital charity campaign.
Richard Quaife, Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager at NSPCC, highlighted the direct effect of the donation:
“This incredible contribution could help answer over 3,000 calls from children seeking help through Childline.”
Take Me and NSPCC: Looking to the Future
Although the official charity partnership has ended, we remains committed to supporting nspcc (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children). CEO David Hunter confirmed that the company is already brainstorming new fundraising initiatives for the summer.
“This cause is so close to my heart,” David stated.

With strong ties to Birmingham, Leicester, and beyond, our journey as a socially responsible taxi company is far from over.
