Old Chigwellians have long valued the importance of giving back to the community, and a brilliant recent example is Johnny Gallagher (OC 2002–2013). Johnny raised an incredible £250,000 to support WWII veterans through the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans.

Reflecting on his motivation, Johnny said:

“I want my generation to understand and respect what these incredible men and women did for us.”

The funds raised have enabled the delivery of unforgettable experiences, the fulfilment of last wishes, and the reassurance that these veterans are never forgotten.
