Smash the Charities That Help Migrants Break into Britain

While Sir Keir Starmer talks about "smashing the gangs", he ignores the activist charities helping illegal migrants break into Britain.
The shocking truth about the so-called charity whose activity and blatant contempt for UK immigration laws make them indistinguishable from the criminal smuggler gangs they pretend to oppose.
While Sir Keir Starmer talks tough about “smashing the gangs” behind illegal Channel crossings, few dare to mention the uncomfortable truth: the gangs may be the symptom, but the real enablers wear charity badges, sit in offices, and call themselves humanitarians.
At the centre of this hypocrisy is Care4Calais, a so-called charity whose operations, activism, and blatant contempt for the UK’s immigration laws make them indistinguishable from the criminal smugglers they pretend to oppose.
The Charity That Helps Migrants Break Into Britain
Care4Calais was established in 2016 by Clare Moseley. It operates in the UK, France, and Belgium, claiming to provide humanitarian aid to displaced people. But its activities go far beyond food parcels and sleeping bags.
Care4Calais is not really a charity at all – it’s an anarchist group, undermining our laws, assisting illegal Channel crossers, all the time hiding behind a charity status to do it.
Care4Calais actively assists illegal migrants in exploiting Britain’s asylum system. They provide legal advice, encourage challenges to government policies, and have been accused by the Home Office of coaching migrants to resist deportations, especially to Rwanda.
UK Law (Nationality and Borders Act 2022, Immigration Act 1971) is clear: This is a crime.
Under UK law (Nationality and Borders Act 2022, Section 40), entering the UK without valid entry clearance or permission is a criminal offence punishable by up to 4 years’ imprisonment. Assisting or facilitating this illegal entry—whether by smugglers or so-called charities—is a serious crime under Section 25 of the Immigration Act 1971, carrying penalties of up to life imprisonment if it endangers life.
Yet Care4Calais continues to operate in the open, providing services, legal contacts, and media support to individuals who have entered the UK illegally, many of whom refuse to claim asylum in safe countries like France, opting instead to break into Britain.
Government Investigation: A Catalogue of Corruption
In 2023, the Charity Commission’s statutory inquiry into Care4Calais uncovered an appalling catalogue of mismanagement, misconduct, and financial irregularities:
£340,000 was funnelled into the personal account of Clare Moseley between 2017 and 2020—an outrageous breach of governance, even if she claimed it was for reimbursements.
Trustee conflicts of interest—for a period, the charity had only two trustees, both siblings, allowing Moseley total control over decisions.
Threatening behaviour by the founder—Moseley admitted to threatening to “drag a volunteer out by her hair” and illegally using pepper spray in Belgium.
Shocking personal conduct—including a previous affair with a Tunisian refugee who later tried to set the charity’s offices on fire.
Failing complaint procedures and a complete breakdown of internal accountability.
Despite these findings, the charity still enjoys the protection of its charitable status, taxpayer relief, and political cover from elements of the left.
From Humanitarianism to Hostility Against British Law
This isn’t a charity. It’s an activist organisation using the cloak of humanitarianism to openly undermine Britain’s borders, mock the law-abiding British public, and facilitate illegal entry into the country.
Even the Home Office has barred Care4Calais from operating at sites like Napier Barracks, after evidence emerged they were encouraging migrants to complain about conditions and feeding them with activist legal support to resist removal.
Yet no charges have been brought. No employees have been held accountable. The law turns a blind eye while the British taxpayer foots the bill.
Time to Smash the Charities
It is now clear that Care4Calais should be stripped of its charitable status immediately. But we must go further than that, much further: Its staff and trustees should be investigated and, where appropriate, prosecuted under the exact same laws used against the people-smuggling gangs. After all, they are doing the exact same thing, helping people to break into Britain. The same tough sentences that face the traffickers in the Channel should apply to the enablers in the boardrooms. The law is clear, and having a charitable status does not mean you're above it.
Smash the gangs? Smash the charities. Dismantling Care4Calais would stop 80% of migrant crossings within days and the rest should be turned back by the Royal Navy whose job it is to protect these islands from invasion.
