We are understandably concerned that during 2022, the Community Security Trust has recorded 210 cases of antisemitism across Greater Manchester.

This reflects a slight drop from the record levels experienced during the previous year.  However, when taken in historical context, Jewish people have been subjected to a significant number of hate crimes across Greater Manchester.

We are an outward facing and vibrant community but we are once again left dealing with a worrying number of antisemitic incidents.  This is coupled with the fact our buildings are located behind gates with security guards.  Naturally, this has the potential to negatively affect our community’s confidence.

Alongside the Community Security Trust, we regularly engage with the Greater Manchester Metro Mayor, Police and Crime Commissioner, Chief Constable and Greater Manchester Police.  We thank them for their long-standing and unwavering support in protecting our community.
