Prince's Trust xl club

Princes Trust xl clubs target young people facing difficulties in education. Volunteers work with them on a personal development curriculum that promotes achievement and encourages success. They seek to re-engage and motivate young people and teach them to take responsibility, develop social skills and enjoy the benefits of teamwork.

Evaluation has demonstrated that young people who take part in xl clubs consistently show:

• improved attendance and punctuality
• increased completion of their final year
• an increase in the number of qualifications attempted
• improved quality of evidence for National Record of Achievement
• improved behaviour in school and social situations
• improved confidence and self-esteem
• enhanced citizenship and community awareness
• increased awareness of the world of work

Bupa is a strong supporter of the Prince's Trust xl clubs, with our most successful scheme running in Feltham since 2004. Volunteers from Bupa Teddies invite young people from the community to the Teddies nursery to learn a variety of different skills and interact with staff members and the children.
