About XLPXLP - short for ‘The eXceL Project’ - was born in 1996 after a school stabbing. A headteacher called in youth worker Patrick Regan OBE to help tackle behavioural challenges. Patrick led XLP for 22 years before founding Kintsugi Hope and Brighter Days to support mental wellbeing.
Today, XLP reaches over 4,000 young people across nine inner-city London boroughs and the City of London. Through education, mentoring, employability, sports and the arts, we stand with those who’ve been overlooked and underestimated. Our Mission To engage in long-term relationships that empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to complete their education, avoid anti-social behaviour and ultimately become independent and confident contributors within their communities. |
