PROJECT PARTNERS
Cumberland Building Society | Making a difference in our region
Each year, The Cumberland donate over £100,000 to a variety of good causes which include local charities, neighbourhood groups, schools and voluntary organisations
ACTIVITIES
Our activities form the basis of everything we do. We offer opportunities for young people of all ages to engage with the project, have fun, learn and develop themselves. We are always looking at new ideas for projects and activities.
LEADERSHIP
Leadership is an important part of the Xcel Project. The majority of our volunteers are under the age of 25 and we also want to give young people who have engaged in the project previously the chance to stay involved.
EMPLOYABILITY
We want to challenge young people to look at what they are going to do when they leave school or exit further education. We will encourage them to think about their future and provide them with the information and skills they need.
