Who are we:

Waythrough (formerly Humankind) was launched in October following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Our mission is to remove barriers to support, tackling poverty and disadvantage through mental health, substance misuse, housing, and related services.

We operate nearly 300 services across England with almost 3,000 staff and volunteers supporting around 50,000 people annually. The merger is ongoing, and branding may still reflect Humankind; full system integration is planned for next year.
