EmpathyLab is a social enterprise with a mission to raise an empathy-educated generation. We specialise in using literature and contact with authors and illustrators to build children’s empathy and literacy skills.

We give adults living and working with children and young people a range of tools: an annual Read For Empathy collection with 60 books for 3-16 year olds; a national Empathy Day every June; empathy training for everyone and in-depth, whole school empathy education programme
