The InBurton Good News Wall!

 

Are you fed up with opening the newspaper or turning on the TV and seeing bad news, bad news and even more bad news?

The InBurton Good News Wall is here to redress the balance just a little by being the place where we can all share our snippets of good news. 

And good news doesn't need to be big news to make it onto the Wall! Of course we'd love to hear that you've just got engaged, had a baby or got a new job .... but we would also love to hear that you've had a great night out, you're happy because the sun is shining or something your child or a friend did that made you smile etc etc.

My hope is that the wall will benefit us in two ways:

1 - It's a great way to share your own good news with your friends and everyone else in Burton. We all feel great when we have good news to share so we can now get that buzz from sharing with others on the Wall.

2 - The Wall can become a great source of inspiration and a pick-me-up for us all. Instead of just reading about doom and gloom all the time, you can visit the wall whenever you want to and be inspired by something happy.

The Good News Wall will only work though if lots of us add our news on a regular basis, so please read, enjoy and smile at the news below ...... and then go to the form at the bottom of the page and add your own good news .... even if it's simply that you've just enjoyed a lovely cuppa .... we would still love to hear from you!
