This site is dedicated to the children and young people, past and present who have used the RAPP service since 1997. The site was designed alongside many of these young people who attend RAPPs different groups; they supported the RAPP staff and Sheik Design to choose the layout.

Much of the information held on the site comes from the creativity and ideas of young people. The ongoing work and development of RAPP is very much attributable to our valued and unique partners, such as the Warren (Save the Children in the early days) Hull Children's Services, Connexions Humber, Hull Youth Council, Community Anti Bullying Project, Hull Children's Fund, Hull Safeguarding Children's Board and Hull Health Authority.

RAPP is very proud to be a Hull based project, and proud to represent Hull at National events, where children and young people from Hull, take centre stage, never fail to impress and make lasting friendships.

We also feel proud to say that RAPP has continued to grow and develop its services and groups in striving to offer a unique project to young people.

Now over ten years old it is true to say that RAPP feels privileged, as a team of workers, to have had the opportunity to share in the lives of thousands of children and young people we have worked with over this time. They have taught us so much, that has helped to shape and influence RAPP's practice.

We never fail to be amazed by the skills of children and young people, their resilience, creativity and strength of character to just get on with their lives despite what might be thrown at them along the way.

"If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much."
Marian Wright Edelman
