• Manchester synagogue attack - latest updates

One of those injured in Thursday's attack on a synagogue in Manchester was working for the Community Security Trust (CST), it has emerged, as the organisation was praised for its role in preventing an even worse atrocity.

The sight of volunteers in the charity's hi-vis bibs has become familiar to anyone frequenting Jewish places of worship, schools and other sites in recent years. However, for decades it has also informed public policy by monitoring and combating antisemitism, while also playing a role countering hatred towards other communities.
