The Government has today announced the largest-ever financial commitment to tackling anti-Semitism, with the Community Security Trust receiving £54 million over the next 3 years for extra security.
This is the biggest single financial commitment any government has made to protect Jewish communities, and comes on top of the £18 million already given to CST for 2024-2025, meaning the organisation’s crucial work is funded until 2028.
The funding will provide protective security measures such as security guards, CCTV and alarm systems at Jewish educational sites and other Jewish community centres, as well as a number of synagogues. By guaranteeing this level of funding for the next 4 years, the government is providing Jewish communities with reassurance and certainty in the face of increased anti-Semitic incidents.
