XLP will provide some of the most vulnerable young people in London with vital support throughout the Covid-19 crisis. We will mentor and provide activities for young people who have poor mental health, challenging home lives, and who are most susceptible to educational failure and youth violence.

Beneficiaries
Situation
•Incredibly limited opportunities for young people living in poverty to access summer activities •Increased risk of involvement in negative behaviours and criminality in Summer, including increased rates of knife crime •Young people suffering from social isolation, low quality relationships and lacking positive role models. •Lack of youth social integration across London •Young people suffering setbacks in development due to losing engagement with schools, social services and youth workers
Solution
We identify vulnerable young people most in-need of support through Summer and provide free access to exciting activities that are designed to improve behaviours, improve social integration and relationships, and encourage access to further opportunities. In the light of the current crisis and lockdown - many of these activities will take place online. Activities take place alongside group mentoring that explores challenges faced and encourages group discussions and relationship building.
