Situation
XLP is about creating positive futures for young people growing up on inner-city London estates, struggling with issues such as family breakdown, unemployment and educational failure, and living in areas that experience high levels of anti-social behaviour and gang violence. We want to keep young people in schools and out of gangs and through long term relationships help young people to trust in themselves, believe they can make a difference and be the change they need to be in the world.
Solution
We run a series of nine different and interrelated projects in the community with our mobile recording studios and double decker youth centres, sports and arts. We work in schools with those at risk of permanent exclusion, struggling with Literacy and Numeracy, through mentoring relationships and by tooling young people with all they need for sustainable long term employment.
