The Community Security Trust is a charity that acts to support the Jewish community by campaigning against racism . It collects regular data on anti-semitism. In its latest report covering January-June 2016 it recorded a 11% increase from the same period in 2015 with 557 recorded, 24% of which occurred on social media. It traces this to increase of discussion of race in the media during the EU referendum debate.
