The 2019 attacks on the Muslim community in Christchurch New Zealand and the Christian community in Sri Lanka led to CST receiving many requests for help, so we set up SAFE – Security Advice For Everyone.
CST protects the UK Jewish community’s 650 communal buildings and 1,000 events each year, supported by 2,500 active trained volunteers and more than 120 professional staff. For 25 years, CST has also provided security advice to Mandirs, Temples, Gurdwaras, Churches and Mosques.
