Waythrough
Hybrid, with some face-to-face meetings held at various locations around the country
Formal approval from the Charity Commission regarding trustee remuneration is currently pending
Waythrough is a leading UK charity, driven by a clear purpose: to transform lives and strengthen communities through high impact work across health, social care and employment support.
The landscape in which Waythrough operates is changing significantly. In substance use, while market conditions remain challenging, the sector has seen a renewed sense of momentum—driven by major national investment through the 10-year drugs strategy, From Harm to Hope, which has created meaningful opportunities for innovation, collaboration and service improvement.
Similarly, the mental health sector is undergoing major transformation, supported by sustained investment in community-based care, crisis alternatives and more integrated, person-centred models. Across both areas, the national direction of travel is enabling new approaches, stronger partnerships and a shift towards more preventative, holistic support. Waythrough is well positioned to build on our expertise and play a leading role in shaping this evolving landscape for the benefit of the people and communities we serve.
THE ROLE
Waythrough was created through the merger of Humankind Charity and Richmond Fellowship on 1 June 2024. Over the past two years, we’ve been working under a bridging strategy that brought together the priorities of both organisations. We are now reaching a pivotal moment: in April 2026, we will launch our first unified, ambitious 10-year strategy, setting the direction for the next decade of Waythrough’s work and impact.
Joining us at this moment provides a unique opportunity to shape the future of one of the UK’s leading charities working across health, social care and employment support. As we enter the next phase of our development, we are excited to welcome new voices, perspectives and experience to strengthen and diversify our governance.
If this opportunity inspires you, we encourage you to explore what it means to join Waythrough’s Board of Trustees. This is a chance to contribute directly to our mission and make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we support across communities throughout England.
