Community Security Trust CST

The CST ensures the safety and security of the Jewish community in Britain.

The CST has a proud heritage dating back to the Jewish defence organisations formed in the 1930s to combat Oswald Mosley and his followers. Today the principal threats to the community are terrorism and antisemitic attacks.

As the Jewish community's only defence organisation the CST has grown significantly. We now have four offices and 55 members of staff. The CST is a registered charity whose work is provided entirely without charge and is solely funded by donations from the Jewish community.

The ethos of the CST is that the Jewish community is responsible for its own security. The CST draws upon a network of 3,000 trained volunteers throughout the country. They are at the heart of the organisation and come from all spheres of communal life, regardless of religious observance, political beliefs, age or gender. These personnel are trained by the CST, and by the Police, so that they can provide the highest level of security for the Jewish community. (Extracted from the CST website)

The CST is always looking for new volunteers and full training will be provided.
