In the intricate tapestry of life, the threads of the cost of living crisis can be overwhelming. At Journey Before Success (JBS), we recognise the challenges faced by individuals and families as they navigate the complexities of daily life, especially in the wake of the Cost of Living Crisis. Today, we shed light on the importance of addressing these challenges and share our commitment to providing critical support.


Understanding the Cost of Living Crisis

The Cost of Living Crisis extends beyond financial struggles; it permeates into every aspect of life. From ensuring a roof over one's head to putting food on the table, the impact is profound. JBS, through community-driven initiatives, seeks to address these challenges by providing essential support to those in need.


Allocating Resources for Critical Operational Expenditure

JBS recognises that a crucial aspect of effectively addressing the Cost of Living Crisis is ensuring operational stability. We aim to allocate a portion of the requested funds to cover critical operational expenditures, including staffing, rent, utilities, logistical expenses, and administrative overheads. A strong foundation allows us to extend our reach and impact, ensuring that our services are sustainable and accessible.



Extending a Helping Hand: Food, Clothes, and Emergency Supplies

The requested funds will also be instrumental in our mission to provide tangible support. JBS remains committed to allocating resources to offer food, clothes, and emergency supplies to those in our community facing the brunt of the crisis. We understand that meeting basic needs is a foundational step towards empowerment.


Promoting Community Engagement: Informational Leaflets and Wellness Talks

Beyond immediate relief, JBS believes in the power of education and community engagement. We plan to utilise the funds to distribute informational leaflets to service users, providing essential knowledge on available resources and support. Additionally, we aim to organise wellness talks focused on mental health, fostering resilience and well-being within our community.


Expanding Workforce for Greater Impact

Recognising the significance of community engagement, JBS will allocate 65% of the funding towards expanding our workforce. This expansion will facilitate the planning and execution of sessions and activities aimed at addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by the Cost of Living Crisis. We believe in the collective strength that comes from an engaged and empowered community.


Monitoring Impact: A Commitment to Accountability

At JBS, we understand the importance of accountability. We commit to monitoring the impact of our work on the community. By tracking the effectiveness of our programs and initiatives, we ensure that the support we provide creates a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.


Join Us on the Journey Before Success

The Cost of Living Crisis is a shared challenge, and at JBS, we invite you to join us on the journey of empowerment, connection, and transformation. Together, we can navigate these challenges, break down barriers, and pave the way for a future where everyone can thrive.
