XLP

XLP stands for "The eXceL Project"; a registered charity (No. 1101095) at the cutting edge of urban youth work in the U.K.. It was started by Patrick Regan in Peckham, South London, in 1996 after a stabbing in a school playground. The school were at a loss as to how to deal with an increase in violence amongst its pupils. They needed someone to speak to the kids and address the issues they were facing. Patrick, a leading youth worker, answered the call. XLP now serves young people in schools and communities across 8 of the London’s poorest boroughs (Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, Lambeth, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Camden and Islington).
