About Us
In October 2024, Humankind and Richmond Fellowship merged to form Waythrough. We’re specialists in mental health, alcohol, drugs and related areas.
At Waythrough, we operate as a leading national UK charity dedicated to supporting individuals facing complex, multiple disadvantages—including mental health challenges, drug and alcohol dependencies, domestic abuse, and housing instability. Formed from the merger of prominent health and social care charities Humankind and Richmond Fellowship, our mission is built on providing compassionate, non-judgmental, and multi-disciplinary support to empower people to rebuild their lives.
Who We Are
Operating through regional administrative hubs (including corporate offices at Inspiration House in Durham and local service centres across London and the UK), our organisation brings together professional support workers, mental health practitioners, clinical specialists, and outreach teams. Partnering extensively with local authorities, the NHS, and government commissioning bodies, we deliver vital community-based health and social care services to thousands of individuals annually.
