Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to provide funding for the Community Security Trust.

The Community Security Trust will receive funding of £18 million per year through the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant (JCPS) from 2024/25 to 2027/28.

The Jewish Community Protective Security Grant provides protective security measures (such as security personnel services, CCTV and alarm systems) at synagogues, Jewish educational establishments and community sites. It is managed on behalf of the Home Office by the Community Security Trust.

We continue to work closely with the Community Security Trust on how best to protect Jewish communities across the UK.
