As we move into 2024, we hope you will continue to help us in our efforts to shape a future where learning is a powerful force for connection, understanding, belonging and human flourishing. Here are some of the highlights from 2023:
Impact
We’re adding this part first, as it’s what we care about most - the impact the use of Lyfta has on the lives of young people.
Lyfta offers learning experiences that not only impart knowledge but also spark a sense of connection and belonging to a wider humanity. At our core, we're on a mission to help learners navigate the complexities of our world's great challenges through relatable, real human stories. We want to create a world where everyone thrives - where education is not just informative but transformative, leading to human flourishing on an intrapersonal, interpersonal, societal and global level.
As a company dedicated to improving student outcomes, we take pedagogy and evidence informed practice extremely seriously. We have spent the year working with a range of schools and trusts to monitor the impact Lyfta is having in their classrooms and have gathered exciting data showing impact across a number of areas including:
- Shifting perspectives and building empathy
- Supporting personal development for a thriving and changing world
- Closing gaps and boosting motivation in writing
- Bringing the world to those with limited access

We were humbled and delighted to be recognised at the prestigious Bett Awards in March receiving the Award for `Transformational Impact’, an award we have been shortlisted for again for 2024.
Lyfta is helping our kids learn to read faster, learn to do their different subjects at a better rate. It's allowing them to write for longer. It's allowing them to process mathematics for longer. It's allowing them to talk about the things you'd want them to talk about with confidence and fluency in front of an Ofsted inspector… healthy eating, finance, those of different faiths, those of different cultures, healthy bodies, healthy minds… about all the things you want your kids to to know about.
Cinematic experiences - a cinema showcase!
In February 2023 around 100 school and trust leaders joined us in a cinema in North London for an evening of knowledge sharing, connection and inspiring human stories. We were lucky enough to be joined by influential figures from the sector like Leora Cruddas CBE, Mary Myatt and Musa Okwonga who shared their perspectives and introduced a showcase of Lyfta films on the big screen. The event was certainly one of our highlights this year - a huge thank you to those that were able to join us. Watch the short film for a flavour of the event.
