The UK government has announced a new £10 million security funding package to enhance protection for mosques and Muslim community centres across the country. Under the expanded Protective Security for Mosques Scheme, the funding will cover advanced safety measures such as CCTV installation, alarm systems, secure fencing, and trained security personnel.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood jointly emphasized the government’s commitment to defending religious freedom and ensuring the safety of worshippers. They stressed that every community in the UK deserves to feel safe and respected, regardless of faith or background.

Muslim community leaders have welcomed the initiative, describing it as a much-needed step toward safeguarding places of worship amid growing concerns over hate incidents. The new funding builds on previous security efforts and reflects the government’s broader goal of promoting peace, inclusion, and mutual respect across all faith groups in the United Kingdom.
