A taxi service is working with Carlisle foodbank to deliver essential supplies this winter. 

Tap A Taxi, the Carlisle-based taxi service similar to Uber, launched in the city in December 2023 and has announced that it will be working directly with Carlisle Foodbank this winter to deliver supplies. 

As part of this partnership, Tap A Taxi drivers will take donations of warm food, blankets, or flasks and deliver them directly to the foodbank who will subsequently provide them to those in need. 

Writing on social media, Tap A Taxi encouraged locals to make their drivers aware if they want to make a donation.

They said: "With the colder weather creeping in, we wanted to remind our customers that Tap A Taxi are working with Carlisle Foodbank to provide warm food and blankets to those in need.

"We dropped some more flasks and blankets off recently, and if you wish to make a donation, simply make your driver aware and leave them in your taxi, and we’ll drop them off with no hassle

"Alternatively, you could drop food donations off at the donation point in The Lanes, Carlisle."
