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.”

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.

To see more, look no further than my list of taxpayer-funded charities (asylum and migration), which comes to £261,897,909:
