Town's 'good news' magazine to stop publication

A magazine celebrating the good news in a town is set to stop publication after its next issue in October. The Happy Hood, released quarterly, was started in 2018 in Northampton after receiving funding from the then borough council and the National Lottery. Laura Graham, the magazine's founder and editor, said the brand would continue along with its monthly walking group. In a post of social media she said: "Cost are rising, people can't volunteer like they used to, and people aren't buying it in the numbers they used to." Ms Graham added "funding is really difficult to get hold of" with the magazine running without any grants since 2023. Since launching, more than 250 people had made voluntary contributions to the publication which is sold in shops, bars and cafes in Northampton. Earlier this year it marked its seventh birthday and 26th edition with an event in the town. In her social media post Ms Graham said the decision to stop publication was "difficult". But she said: "What we've done is revolutionary, and unheard of, and we've done something really cool. "Who knows what we might do in the future."

A gaggle of goslings keep getting stuck in this man's pool. Watch what he does next.

A clever man thought outside of the box when some baby geese were repeatedly getting stuck in his pool. Instead of constantly trying to scoop them out, Matthew Henry of Chesapeake, Virginia, decided to build makeshift stairs and patiently encourage the gaggle of goslings to use them. Despite the protective parents hissing, Henry persisted and was ultimately able to guide the goslings toward a safer way out. His creative and compassionate solution is now circulating online, earning him praise for his dedication to the safety of the feathered family. Humankind is your go-to spot for good news!

The Lead: There's more than enough good news to go around, here are News24's best stories

Between the headlines on disaster, corruption, and crime are stories that delight South Africans. In fact, some of the most read articles on News24 over the past month have been good news stories. News24's Good News Editor Paul Herman talks to us about how a Kraaifontein man used his R350 grant to build a vegetable produce business, how budding Springbok star Siphosethu Mnebelele overcame the loss of his parents to make the national junior side, and how a Mitchells Plain man came from humble beginnings to be a fine dining head chef. Later, host Graeme Raubenheimer reports that the Joburg Mayor's calling in the 'Bomb Squad' of governance experts, not the Springboks, to fix the City of Gold. And finally, the City of Cape Town says there's no budget to complete the iconic, unfinished Foreshore freeway bridge. YouTube Apple
