XLP is about creating positive futures for young people growing up in inner-city London
XLP stands for "The eXceL Project"; a charity at the cutting edge of London’s youth work.
The young people we work with often struggle with issues like family breakdown, unemployment, educational failure, and live in areas that experience high levels of anti-social behaviour and gang violence. It’s a reality that batters potential, limits support and forces every inner-city future into a predictable statistic.
That’s why at XLP, we keep young people in school and out of gangs. We build positive, long-term relationships to restore a trust in people. We nurture the belief that things can change, despite their postcode. We encourage them to set positive goals and work hard to achieve them. We put the power back in their hands so they can have the future they want, not the future dictated to them.
Today XLP serves young people and their families in schools and communities across nine inner-London boroughs, working with over 3,500 young people each year.
