As we continue to re-build our site, more and more Waythrough services are getting their own service page in our Gallery as they submit creative works done as group projects or submitted on behalf of individuals. You can find them in the Gallery tab under Re Create: Places.
And as our community grows, it’s fantastic to see a number of individual contributors popping up regularly. We welcome these warmly and you can find them under Re Create: People.
Enjoy the latest updates – the pic below is one of mine from a November trip to rural Derbyshire which coincided with a blanket of early winter snow!

We’re continuing to make a few changes to our site as we explore exciting new opportunities to showcase the creativity in our expanded community as Waythrough – a confident merger of Humankind, Richmond Fellowship and subsidiary organisation Aquarius.
But in the meantime the creative juices are continuing to flow throughout our organisation from staff & people we support alike; these include some fabulous works (below) from the residents of Longview House in Huyton, Merseyside, related to a recent Van Gogh project in which each resident painted their own version of his famous Starry Night painting. Another fantastic poem by Nadine Smart, and wonderful artwork from our Together-Devon service following a visit to an art/equine therapist.
Keep sharing your creative works and projects, we love to showcase them!
