Popular Conservatism director Mark Littlewood questions whether Migrant Help should be considered a conventional charity given the scale of its government funding. The organisation holds a volume-based Home Office contract to provide support services to people seeking asylum, including a round-the-clock helpline. The discussion examines the contract’s reported potential value, Migrant Help’s staffing costs and executive remuneration. Littlewood describes the organisation as “an arm of the state” and calls for greater transparency around charities that receive most of their income from government contracts or grants. Migrant Help says the contract’s value reflects the volume of services it delivers. The Home Office says it is legally required to provide certain support to asylum seekers and that government contracts are subject to governance and assurance procedures. #MigrantHelp #TaxpayersMoney #HomeOffice Have you got a story?
