Without further ado, here are open-border grants awarded by Comic Relief. (By “open-border grants”, I mean grants that have the effect of creating de facto open borders in the UK.)

Bail for Immigration Detainees provides “free legal advice, information and representation to thousands of people held in detention across the UK.”

It offers information on areas such as “How to get out of detention?” and “Are you facing deportation?” as well as running free legal advice for those “detained under immigration powers in a prison or removal centre”.

Comic Relief provided £300,000 towards “Assisting immigration detainees to secure release and live safely” and £40,000 towards “Legal advice and representation to immigration detainees in the UK”.
