XLR8 is a fun, educational and impactful programme designed to help children make a successful transition to their secondary school. This journey is not always a successful one for vulnerable pupils and much of the good work in previous years can be undone. Furthermore, the increase in incidents of adolescent mental health can be closely linked to this critical period in a young person's life. Focussed interventions here can help to ensure positive trajectories and happier, more fulfilled lives.
We run a series of recreational activities including art and music therapy for those who have additional mental and health needs and who are currently being home educated.

We help young people through: 1. Intensive mentoring and coaching sessions that support and challenge young people, helping them to overcome challenges and barriers in their lives. Developing resistance and the mindset to make better choices and help them manage trauma. 2. Improving key employability skills such as team-work, problem solving and resilience. 3. Providing practical support to improve access to employment such as CV writing and job sourcing.
