Here at Mandara, we're raising money for XLP

XLP’s mission statement is:

‘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.’

XLP stands for ‘The eXceL Project’. In 1996, in response to a stabbing in a school playground, the school’s headmaster asked Patrick Regan, who was then a local church-based youth worker, to come into the school, work with their students and teachers and help with difficult behavioural issues. XLP now operates across nine inner-city boroughs around London, working with over 1,600 young people through education, mentoring, sport and the arts.

Fundraising targets!

• £1,250 to support one young person for a year
• £50 pays for 3 sessions with a trained mentor
