I have been adding to my lists of taxpayer-funded charities, which I publish regularly on Substack. The total for every taxpayer-funded charity I have calculated (92 so far) across the last five published tax years is £2.6 billion – with £316.7 million of this figure going towards 55 asylum and migration charities. Here’s a sample of five charities I recently added to that list:
Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (PAFRAS) (£439,400, 2021-25)
PAFRAS “aims to end destitution, increase access to social justice and advocate for the rights of refugees and people seeking asylum in Leeds”, adding: “We resist the hostile environment and strive for systemic change.” It helps asylum seekers find legal representation and to understand the asylum system. Like most charities (not just in the asylum and migration space), it is very vocal about politics. In April 2024 it posted on X that "THE RWANDA ACT IS INHUMANE AND VIOLATES BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS":
Refugee Routes (£137,130, 2021-25)
The charity “helps asylum seekers and refugees build relationships and navigate the complexities of building a new life in the UK”, according to its website. Its “empowerment initiatives include befriending, accompanying asylum seekers to appointments, information, advice and guidance, as well as supportive groups and activities, such as free English conversation classes.”
Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (£312,030, 2021-25)
The centre says it supports “refugees and asylum seekers in South London by providing free advice and a range of holistic

Following up the note on ‘there are many men’ from what Paki Mahmood has said do we now know that women are only brought along to rape on the journey? And children are there to be thrown overboard if – in the totally unlikely – event that the dinghy might be taken back to France. Perhaps we should support the spreading around of these rapists so that more people who coo over these poor darlings can experience the joy that they can bring. Piddington voted in the Ed the Clown Show party and Crowborough has a Hamas Terrorist Party council I believe.
Looking at those charities and their headlines/slogans, anyone would think that there is a general acceptance and agreement that all the world’s migrants are welcome here and are to be given as much help and support as they require!
That is the opposite of reality! We don’t want or have room for potentially 118 million displaced people!
Any organisation in receipt of public funds (other than gift aid on donations) is clearly an arm of the state, a quango. Its claims to be a “charity” are clearly fraudulent.
I don’t object to these charities if they want to exist. But if they were confident that they worthy causes they would be able to get donations from the people who feel like wise. That would not be me – nor I suspect many other people. I object to them receiving their money via our taxes, Government funding for support of illegal activities should be stopped.
That picture of four blokes with one in a yellow puffa jacket: it looks like they’re painting models or pictures or making a collage… primary school stuff. No wonder he’s laughing.
Aiding and abetting illegal activity is, illegal?
In clown world an invasion is asylum, men are boys, Muhammadanism is peace, Jihad is forgiveness, diversity your strength, and illegal is the new legal.
Only the USA and Germany spend more than us on “refugee hosting”.
In 2016 it was £410 million but now we count in billions, £4.273B in 2023, £2.403B in 2025. No doubt a government good news story to spin out of that.
Let’s just remember which political party was in government for most of those years 2021-2025
It doesn’t matter. It is the OxBridge Civil Service that have been running the show since 1945. The KGB recruit spies from both Oxford and Cambridge.
The Civil Service and the various governments we’ve had seem to find each other mutually convenient, despite protestations to the contrary from both sides.
