Waythrough launched in October following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship.

We have almost services around England and nearly 3, amazing staff and volunteers who run them. Every year our services support around, people.
Bringing together two big organisations is not a small task and itll take a while to fully integrate our systems, processes and approaches. Thats why you will notice the jobs here are still branded Humankind. Next year well be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.
