Protect our Churches. Extra funding for security and safety of our Churches
Background
Provide extra monetary funding for Churches so security can be improved. In the year 2025 crimes against churches were recorded at 3,824 crimes. This averages more than 10 a day. These crimes include Arson, Criminal damage, Vandalism and Burglaries.
Additional details
Extra money would enable Churches to increase security measures such as CCTV, Alarms and improved Security Lighting. Majority of the time the church has to pay for the damage caused to the property and this can create a financial problem for the church.
