Your daily look on the bright side - www.OptimistWorld.com is a new site dedicated to provide the public with a more positive news agenda to sit alongside mainstream media channels. As well as uplifting Optimist News, the site also investigates other aspects of everyday life which aim to inspire a positive outlook: Optimist Charities, Optimist Companies, Optimist Sports and Optimist Travel are only the beginning. The site is edited by seasoned world class journalists but is also creating a community of optimists that share stories and contribute to inspire others.

The Optimist Charities section provides a free listing for every charity in the UK, regardless of size. In addition each week five charities will be featured and site visitors can interact by voting for their favourite of these charities. The winner will move on to the next round in the annual Charity of the Year competition which will be celebrated at the Optimist Awards Ceremony in January 2009.
