Kicking things off by celebrating something special...

It’s Waythrough’s 1st anniversary! 🎂

To celebrate a full year since Waythrough launched following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship, we’re reflecting on what we’ve achieved this year and what comes next.
Last year, an estimated 2.3 million people experienced domestic abuse in England and Wales. Of these victims, 69% were female (1.6 million).
Domestic abuse is often hidden from friends and family. Look out for these signs if you are concerned about a loved one👇
