About Us

Shining a Light on the Good in York

Positive York was born from a simple belief: that positivity is powerful. In a world full of challenges, we choose to focus on the things that uplift, inspire, and unite.

We’re not about ignoring reality—we’re about balancing it with stories that offer hope. Whether it’s a new social enterprise, a passionate local artist, or a neighbourhood group making a quiet difference, we’re here to tell the stories that matter.

Our mission is to build a kinder narrative around York—one that celebrates community, resilience, and the power of positivity.
