COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

EMPATHY WEEK CIC

Company Number: 15892375 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 December 2025

Company activities and impact

The principal activity of the company in the period under review was that of the provision of educational video production, schools event management, educational training for teachers and specialist photography activities. The annual festival of Empathy Week over the financial period took place twice and reached 500,000 students in 2025 and 690,000 students in 2026 respectively.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are teachers and educators, as well as the students that benefit from us engaging with their schools. We gather quantitative and qualitative feedback on the value of our events, resources and initiatives and to understand what action we can take to improve our offer. This is done through post-event surveys, teacher interviews and ongoing communication directly with teachers. Our Empathy Week Impact Reports show the results of these surveys in terms of NPS score, enjoyment level of students and teachers’ intention to continue to develop the skill of empathy. An example of action taken in response to feedback following our 2025 festival was to make more of our events, including our online Primary Assemblies, available on-demand as recordings for schools. We also work with financial partners, including NGOs and companies, who provide funding to offer dedicated events for free to schools. We have regular joint planning sessions and offer review meetings with post-event evaluations for partners. Feedback from these partners informs improvements to programme delivery and event organisation, while ensuring alignment with our school-focused objectives.

Directors' remuneration

The total remuneration paid to the directors during the period covered by this form was £13,000.
