So we built the one we always wanted, by the people who do this work, for everyone who does it too.
We kept hitting the same wall, every single term.
The sector barely innovates, and the tools we were handed buried our mentors in admin instead of freeing them for the young people in front of them. We wanted our people doing what they love, closer to the young people in their care, for longer. So we stopped waiting for someone else to fix it, and built it ourselves.
Hapio is the practical half of something we care about more than software. If you want the why behind it, not just the what, start here.
See why we're in your corner →Founders, leaders and mentors who do this work every day. The expertise inside Hapio is theirs.
Rich runs alternative provisions, children's homes and tutoring across the south of England. A young person the system once gave up on, he now builds the tools he wished his own settings had, Hapio among them.
Brian has built his career around being the adult who stays. He shapes Hapio so every mentor can spend more of their time doing exactly that.
Jade has spent fifteen years in alternative provision, including seven coordinating a Local Authority's highly commended AP framework. She founded Provisions Plus+ to raise the standard of how AP is run, and brings that best-practice lens to Hapio.
A specialist in trauma-informed, therapeutic education with over twenty years in SEND, Rebecca leads safeguarding and SEND strategy at Illuminate AP. She shapes how Hapio keeps young people safe, and understood.
Natalie leads Storyy Group's Berkshire provisions, building the relationships with schools and professionals that get young people the right placement and the best outcome. She keeps Hapio grounded in the daily reality of running a setting.
Hapio is built and tested inside our own provisions, on real journeys, before it ever reaches yours.
The team behind it leads Storyy Group, Illuminate AP and Provisions Plus+, alternative provisions and children's homes across the south of England and beyond, so the platform fits the way the work really happens, not the way a software company imagines it.
Hapio is built by People & Purpose, the purpose-driven brand of founders Rich Williams and Brian Murphy.
