I'm concerned by the number of British charities/ otherwise funded by The Paul Hamlyn Foundation. PHF is a foundation that supports open borders. I have found two examples of it funding charities that advised the Government. One is HOPE not hate (advised the Home Office). 
PHF has given hundreds of thousands to organisations whose raison d’être is magnifying racial differences and splitting society up by ethnicity. This is always presented as caring/social justice, but it's counterproductive to social cohesion and diversity.
It also has a "Migration Fund", which HOPE not hate has received three times (worth hundreds of thousands of pounds).

In 2020/21, PHF awarded £60,000 over 24 months to a student network wanting to "remove the social licence of companies running the UK’s immigration detention facilities."
In other words, PHF was allowed to fund a group trying to undermine British interests.

It also gave the Public Interest Law Centre (Camden Community Law Centre) £20,000 over 3 months, which helps with "asylum and immigration law matters".
Is it okay for trusts no one's heard of to be funding the opposite of government policy?

Anyway, it's all here. Genuinely will take me ages to go through all of them:

Also just to say that there are other trusts on my list. Actually, a LOT. They present a serious problem for democracy. We have unelected/ unaccountable rich foundations - sometimes even partly funded by the public - pouring money into groups lobbying against the Government. Sigh
