The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has announced a further £1 million in funding to help councils and local partners tackle antisemitism and strengthen community cohesion across England.

The additional funding will expand MHCLG’s Common Ground programme - which is already providing more than £4 million to communities across the country.

The funding is intended to support communities and places facing the greatest risk of antisemitism, with a particular focus on helping Jewish communities feel safer and better supported.

It aims to support rapid, visible local action, including community safety measures, targeted youth and school initiatives, interfaith projects, and programmes to challenge antisemitic narratives and hate crime.

An immediate £500,000 will also be allocated to Barnet Council following recent serious antisemitic incidents in the borough.

Further information will be made available in due course.
