CST (Community Security Trust)
P O Box 35501
London
NW4 2FZ
CST is the charity that protects British Jews from terrorism and antisemitism. It exists to ensure that Jewish people across the UK can lead the lives of their choice. Widely recognised by police and government as a unique model of best practice, CST’s research regularly informs public policy, helps to safeguard wider British society, and supports victims of antisemitism.
CST gained charitable status in 1994, though its origins lie in many decades of Jewish self-defence – both before and after World War Two. CST does not charge for any of its services and is almost entirely dependent on charitable donations to cover its costs.
