Waythrough 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. Every year our services support around 125,000 people.
In partnership with Waythrough, Darlington Borough Council have been successful in their application for funding from Homes England and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) from the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP). The funding is to secure 12 properties that will be ringfenced for this project as well as 2 full-time Support Workers.
