Working in partnership
LYFT CIC is a service-driven volunteer organisation offering multiple services to other charities and vulnerable people in society, including refugees. With initiatives in the UK and Africa, the focus is on enabling individuals and organisations to realise their potential through effective coaching, training, mentoring and consultancy.
Working in partnership, we create a network of support that strengthens our communities.
What We Offer
Discover the wide range of services designed to uplift individuals and communities alike. LYFT CIC is dedicated to transforming lives through our coaching, mentoring and consultancy programs.
Tailored Coaching
Individual tailored coaching and training programs to meet the bespoke needs of the individual, community or organisation. Designed to foster growth, resilience and confidence.
Charity Support Services
The senior management of charities and NGOs alike have little time to breathe, and so running regular organisational reviews are quite often neglected as the immediate day to day needs take priority. LYFT CIC supports charities to perform timely reviews and provides all the heavy lifting required, interviewing the key team members, documenting the findings and working with the team to produce a project plan for the future.
Partnership Programs
LYFT CIC has partnered with a number of organisations in the UK and Uganda. Focused on supporting on refugees locally, we help provide employment and digital skills to the members and assist in setting up weekly football and fitness classes. Further afield Uganda, amongst other initiatives, we provide business consultancy to new refugee run businesses and training to the leaders of a large (28,000) Congolese refugee community.
Workshops and Training
LYFT CIC provides a wide range of workshops and programmes. At a personal level, the keynote programme, 'What Makes Me, Me' focuses on self knowledge which enables individuals to develop life goals and plans that fit in with their values and beliefs. At an organisational level we provide leadership and teamwork programmes. Communication skills are central to all training.
