In one sentence
Home Office money to guide children through the system — and a campaign to keep the system open.
The establishment face of the sector. PQ 83601: Home Office contracts totalling £8.0 million since 2020, a £3.2 million Children’s Advisory grant for unaccompanied children, £215,244 for adult mental health, and £5.37 million of EU AMIF money the department facilitated. Published audits put taxpayer funding at £41.6 million for 2021–25. The same organisation briefs against Rwanda and the IMA and sits on Home Office NGO forums with Migrant Help, Refugee Action, the Red Cross and UNHCR. Contractor in the morning, opposition in the afternoon.
We do not receive government funding other than in relation to contracted services, such as a Home Office project to support unaccompanied children.
