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 We fight for the young people that fly beneath the radar. Those who have been written off and ruled out; whose hope for the future is waning. We see the young people that others forget. Not only do we see their struggle and their circumstances, but we see their potential. |
