RAPAR is an award-winning organisation in Greater Manchester working towards equal human rights with those in our communities who are most at risk of having their human rights denied.
We work with displaced people who face challenges with citizenship, housing, deportation, employment, education, personal safety and other problems. We enable their access to the services they need, and release their abilities to find effective ways of reaching solutions.
We also assist people in the formation of community groups and develop research projects and learning opportunities that advance the general body of knowledge about displaced people.
