Protecting our Jewish community
About us
Community Security Trust (CST) is a UK-based charity that protects British Jews from antisemitism and related threats. CST received charitable status in 1994 and is recognised by the Police and Government as a unique model of best practice. CST works across the Jewish community, from the most religious to the most secular, young to old, across the political spectrum and throughout the whole of the UK. We depend on our valued relationships with all Jewish community organisations to do our work facilitating Jewish life. CST provides security advice and support at no cost to any person in charge of Jewish schools, synagogues and other communal organisations or buildings in the UK. This includes advice regarding the physical security of Jewish buildings, protection of Jewish events and security training for people working in the Jewish community. CST works closely with police at local, regional and national levels to help protect Jewish communities. This includes joint patrols in Jewish areas, training classes and exercises, exchange of antisemitic incident data and numerous advisory roles. CST works with Members of Parliament and regularly meets representatives to discuss antisemitism, racism, extremism and terrorism. CST featured prominently in the 2006 and 2015 reports of the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Antisemitism. CST believes that building better relations across communities is key to reducing prejudice and bigotry of all forms. CST uses its expertise to make practical contributions across society. This includes our having given security advice to Hindu Temples, Sikh Gurdwaras, Churches and Mosques around the UK. CST helped in the creation of Tell MAMA, a Muslim community initiative to measure and combat anti-Muslim hate crimes.
