Funding

Who pays for this site

Short answer: I do.

Money in

None so far. There are no adverts, no sponsors and no paid memberships. Everything here is free to read, and I intend to keep it that way.

Money out

The domain name and the web hosting, paid for out of my own pocket. The photographs come free from Unsplash and are credited to the people who took them. The charts come from Our World in Data, which shares its work for anyone to use with credit.

The rules I hold myself to

• No money from political parties, campaign groups or advocacy think tanks.
• Any book link that might earn a small commission is labelled next to the link.
• If money ever comes from anywhere, every source over £250 a year will be listed on this page, with the date.
• Sponsors, if there are ever any, never touch the articles.

Why it matters

A site about good news is only worth reading if nobody is paying for the good news. You can read more about why I do this on the About page.
