The Wish List

Below is the list of some of the equipment and supplies to help us during our road trip. If you are feeling generous and have any of these items hiding around your house or at work and have no need for them, then please contact us and the Silk Road Taxi Service would gratefully accept.

We will have a limited amount of space to bring toys, classroom materials and other gifts for the children but we'll try our best.

Maybe you have some equipment that you think would be helpful to us on our journey that we have not listed below (even if it's not helpful to us then they will be part of a big raffle) Just get in touch: contact@silkroadtaxi.co.uk
