Smiley News is a British news publication, which focuses on positive news aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.[1] It was founded in 2017,[2] nearly four decades after Franklin Loufrani included feel-good stories in the French newspaper France-Soir.[3] It also runs a series of nationwide events called Smiley Talks, which feature people telling personal stories.[4]
It partnered with Royal Dutch Mint to create a medal to help fund a food box distribution project during the Christmas period in 2021.[5]
