Sadiq Khan’s deputy chairs £4 MILLION taxpayer-funded charity behind “Migrant’s Guide”

Praxis Community Projects received £4,014,260 from taxpayers between 2021–25

Dr Debbie Weekes-Bernard is Sadiq Khan’s £151,465 per year Deputy Mayor, Communities and Social Justice (he has nine deputy mayors in total).

She is also the Chair of Praxis Community Projects, whose title is a bit ambiguous until you head to its website, which advertises “A Migrant’s Guide”:

Costing £3 per copy (or free online), the Migrant’s Guide is “interactive guide to support you through your immigration journey in the UK. For migrants, by migrants.”

It comes in different languages:

And is extremely extensive, covering:

  • LGBTQI+ support

  • Immigration raids

  • Mindfulness activities

  • Register for GP & care needs

  • Homelessness support if you have children

  • Free activities

  • Universal credit

  • Housing benefit & council tax

Like I say, £151,465 per year Weekes-Bernard is Chair of Praxis, which she describes as “a charity supporting migrants and refugees and is a Distinguished Friend of the Migration Museum.” (Which itself received £1,147,120 from taxpayers between 2021-25).

Minnie Rahman is the CEO of Praxis and another alumni of the New Economy Organisers Network (NEON)…

… which trains left-wing activists for air and otherwise, including open-border-loving Zoe Gardner.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ll be delighted to know that Praxis Community Projects received £4,014,260 from taxpayers between 2021-25.

It’s part of a much bigger picture, with taxpayers being charged billions for charities, many of which effectively advance open borders or other ideological positions many taxpayers disagree with.
