Mosque & Property Security
Helping keep mosques, schools, shared spaces, and homes safe.
Why This Matters
More Muslim spaces are being targeted. But the help on offer is often slow or patchy. We work in two ways. We push for better national security schemes. And we give community leaders simple tools to act with calm and confidence.
What We’re Working On
Security Guidance & Preparedness Framework
We make clear, shared safety guidance for mosques and community centres. It helps them plan and get ready.
Martyn’s Law Preparedness
We are making simple guides on Martyn’s Law. They will help mosques get ready before the rules begin.
Government Funding Reform
We call for better security funding. We want it to reach more mosques, be simpler to apply for, and come with more help.
