The new issue of Positive News magazine features stories about people acting for a future they may never see. Journalist Caitlin Moran explains that thinking about the future does not require grand, decades-long projects. Instead, she argues that hope is a decision to act through small, tangible choices like planting a garden or picking up litter.

Other contributors share diverse paths toward this goal. Chris Sylvester founded a soap company after overcoming heroin addiction and prison to create jobs for others in recovery. The issue also reports on girls and women in Afghanistan attending secret schools to keep learning despite the Taliban’s restrictions. Additionally, it highlights fathers finding support by trying new hairstyles together.

As artist Liam Young stated, "The future doesn’t rush over us like water. It’s an act of creation. It’s something we make, moment to moment, together." The magazine notes that these stories show the future is being shaped by current choices about what to protect and nurture. Readers can subscribe by Sunday 11 October and save 20% with code TOMORROW.
