Will a corrupt charity redeem UK-Rwanda asylum seekers?
Care4Calais,
a so-called refugee charity, has intervened in the UK-Rwanda asylum seekers’
deal, pretending to be ‘a redeemer’ for the affected migrants.
For
long, Care4Calais claimed to take a pity on illegal migrants in the UK-Rwanda
deal. The ‘charity’ launched different means against the deal ever since it was
signed in April 2022.
The
deal seeks to give a dignified life to people who leave their countries to seek
asylum in the European country. Under the deal, some people will be relocated
to Rwanda where they will be empowered through different initiatives.
As
well as prioritising the dignity and empowerment of migrants, their safety and
security will be ensured in Rwanda. However, Care4Calais is vigorously
campaigning against the noble deal mainly through social media. More than
10,000 individuals dedicated to challenging the migrants deal have joined a
movement under the organization to show the British government that public
opinion is against its plan.
“We’re
taking the Government to court. Add your name to join the fightback against
their plans to send refugees to Rwanda. The first flight to Rwanda was stopped
but Government plans haven’t. In September, we’re taking the UK Government to court,”
announced the organization.
Those
not in the know will be misled by Care4Calais despite its ulterior motives in
opposing the deal. The organisation is not the angel it would like people to
think it is.
In
August 2021, the UK Charity Commission, a charity regulator, announced a
statutory inquiry into serious governance concerns identified at Care4Calais.
The Charity Commission is the independent, non-ministerial government
department that registers and regulates charities in England and Wales. The
Commission first engaged with the trustees in August 2020, after proactively
identifying concerns arising from the charity’s accounts. This led to wider
concerns about the charity’s governance, including a lack of clarity around who
was validly appointed as a trustee and around how decisions are made.
The
Commission is concerned that the charity’s existing governance arrangements may
not be appropriate for a charity of this size, leading to potential further
problems, including around implementing adequate financial controls and
enacting safeguarding policies. The inquiry opened in August 2020, to examine
matters including mismanagement and, or, misconduct in the administration of
the charity by the trustees.
The
Commission appointed Sarah Tomlinson and Philip Watts from Anthony Collins
Solicitors as interim managers to review governance at charity.
During
the inquiry, the organization was relying on volunteers. It earned £877,000 in 2020 and spent £586,000
while it had not paid its staff.
Worse
still, ever heard how the married Care4Calais founder, Clare Moseley, fell for
Tunisian Mohamed Bajjar, but the migrant reportedly poured petrol around
Care4Calais' HQ after their relationship ended?
The
story of romance between Bajjar, who was then 27 and Clare, then 46, was
exposed by the media in 2017. It was a damaging scandal because of the
organization’s strict ‘no sex with refugees’ policy.
Moseley
had especially boasted of her charity's zero-tolerance policy on sex with
migrants, while shacking up with Bajjar - who had been posing as a Syrian to
sneak into Britain.
Care4Calais’
passionate campaign against the deal also relates with the bigger picture
problem in the UK. According to reports, when the UK National Asylum Support
Service (NASS) provides assistance to asylum seekers who would otherwise be
destitute, they apply for accommodation and financial assistance, or one of the
two.
The
NASS finds accommodation for the asylum seekers through housing companies and
associations, city councils and private real estate owners. The house owners
and associations that rent houses to NASS make good money from the presence of
asylum seekers in the UK but as revealed, relocating
asylum seekers to Rwanda, actually kills big business for house owners in the
UK.
Since British home owners fear losing big
money, they will do anything, and everything, to decampaign the deal.
Among
others, they desperately turn to corrupt Western media and the likes of
Care4Calais, to make noise, or lies, claiming that the asylum seekers will not
be safe in Rwanda.
