Job Details: Welcome and Reception Recovery Volunteer
Waythrough, launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship, aims to break down barriers to support for those in need. We address poverty and disadvantage in communities through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing, and related support services.
With nearly 200 services across England, and approximately 3,500 staff and volunteers, we support around 125,000 people annually.
