**Who are we**
Waythrough (Formerly Humankind) launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people getting the support they need to live a life they value. We tackle poverty and disadvantage in communities, through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing and related support.We have almost 200 services around England - and nearly 3,500 amazing staff and volunteers who run them.
