The Jubilee Welfare Fund (JWF) is a tax exempt, charitable organisation, established in 2003 by New Life Christian Community. The fund was birthed to assist people living in the nine suburbs of Fremantle, who had been disconnected from essential utilities or were threatened with eviction from their homes.
All debts were paid and utilities restored, at Easter of 2003 due to the generous giving and compassion of many people.  
As an expression of the mercy and love of God, this Fund continues to respond to people in crisis by providing emergency financial assistance, or by gifting specific goods such as furniture or food.

The rules of the JWF stipulate that only ‘necessitous people’ qualify for assistance. As such we partner regularly with local Welfare Agencies to assist clients who have been unable to receive assistance through existing government or community agencies.

Over the past 4 years the JWF has assisted many people to remain in their rental properties, get re-connected to essential utilities (gas, electricity and water), receive food hampers and assistance for a variety of other needs. Social workers from the Fremantle hospital, have requested help for clients going home to houses without electricity. The JWF has paid the outstanding debt, enabling these houses to be re-connected to electricity so that their medications can be kept cold (ie insulin for diabetics).

Every Christmas several hundred festive food hampers are assembled by volunteers and distributed in Fremantle with the help of local agencies. Many families in need are supported and encouraged by this annual initiative. The cost to JWF is around $30 000 for these hampers.

Recently (July, 2008) JWF purchased a modified van for a family who did not have the means to do this. Their young son is confined to a wheelchair with severe disabilities.

The Jubilee Welfare Fund does not receive any government funding. It exists solely through donations from individual persons. All gifts are tax deductible.
By the grace of God and through generous gifts this Fund continues to help people in the Fremantle region.

We welcome your interest and support.
