Welcome to Good News UK! This community exists to try and offset some of the doom-and-gloom on Lemmy in a healthy way.

More information will be added soon.

What can be posted in Good News UK?

Currently we are still figuring out what classifies as "good news" in this community, so for now feel free to post whatever you think qualifies as good news so long as it doesn't break the instance/community rules.

Our only requirement at the moment is that posts are UK-specific.

What if I think a post isn't Good News?

Good News UK is intended to be a community of nuanced discussion and education moreso than a community for excessive unfounded optimism.

Most good news comes with some elements of bad news or things that can be done better. We request that you post mindful and detailed challenges on the post itself in these cases if it doesn't otherwise break the instance/community rules.

Low-effort, unproductive, and unhelpful comments which challenge whether or not something classifies as good news are discouraged and such comments may be removed.

Cross-Posting

Cross-posting is allowed. We encourage you to post content in communities such as [email protected] and [email protected] first and then cross-post here after a few days.

Speedo Mick, whose full name is Michael Cullen, is best known for walking the length and breadth of the UK for charity in his unique attire.

He has also swum the English Channel and climbed four mountains as part of his fundraising activity.

"I'm absolutely thrilled," Mr Cullen said, adding that the Citizen of Honour certificate would take pride of place in his front room.

He added: "I'm over the moon about it because it's from the city of Liverpool it makes it all the more special to me.

Mr Cullen has raised money for over 120 organisations including charities which support disadvantaged young people and homeless people as well as mental health and wellbeing projects.

He said it was a way to thank the people who helped him with his own mental health challenges.
