The Government is committed to the safety and security of Jewish communities across the UK, including Fylde, and to tackling antisemitism wherever it occurs. Everyone should feel safe to practise their faith and participate in public life free from intimidation or fear.

On 30 April, the Government announced £25 million of immediate funding for 2026/27 to strengthen policing, protect Jewish communities, and provide reassurance following the terrorist attack in Golders Green and the recent increase in antisemitic incidents. Of this, £4 million was allocated to the Jewish Community Protective Security (JCPS) Grant, bringing the total funding for the Grant to £32.4 million. This represents a record level of investment in 2026/27 to support the protection of Jewish communities. The JCPS Grant funds protective security measures at synagogues, Jewish educational institutions, and other community sites. It is administered by the Community Security Trust (CST) on behalf of the Home Office.

Whilst it would not be appropriate to comment on the arrangements for specific locations, we continue to work closely with the police, CST and other partners to monitor threats and ensure that appropriate and proportionate protective measures are in place where they are needed.

Alongside this, the Government is taking a broad, cross-government approach to tackling antisemitism in all its forms. This includes action to address online hate through the Online Safety Act, under which platforms must take steps against illegal content, as well as wider work to support communities and strengthen resilience, including through programmes such as the Common Ground, which has received a £1 million expansion to support communities and places facing the greatest risk of antisemitism.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), law enforcement and industry offer a comprehensive package of cyber protection measures designed to strengthen national resilience against online threats.

One of those measures is the NCSC Early Warning Service, which is a free, easy-to-use alert system that notifies UK organisations of potential cyber threats affecting their networks. By signing up, businesses receive timely alerts that can help detect and respond to threats before they escalate, improving visibility and resilience across their digital infrastructure. Businesses can register via the MyNCSC portal: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/active-cyber-defence/early-warning

The regional network of Cyber Resilience Centres (CRCs) in England and Wales, funded by the Home Office, offer the full package of measures to small and medium-sized enterprises, that often lack in-house expertise or awareness of cyber threats and risks.

CRCs bridge that gap by providing trusted guidance aligned with NCSC standards, offering tailored, bitesize advice and long-term support. CRCs also help organisations achieve Cyber Essentials certification – the UK Government-backed scheme setting five baseline controls proven to reduce cyber risk. Certification signals a commitment to security, strengthens supply chain assurance, and is recommended by NCSC as the minimum standard for all organisations.

The Early Warning Service is a key tool offered as part of this package of measures, with sign-up promoted to businesses in Fylde by the Cyber Resilience Centre for the North-West. We would advise all businesses in Fylde to join this local CRC, which can provide advice and tailored services appropriate to the individual needs of each business.
