Have you been using Making It Real to spark ideas and change lives? Then we’d love to hear from you.
We’re inviting people and organisations to contribute stories and blog posts to makingitreal.org.uk. By doing so, you’ll be helping others to learn from your experience as well as shouting about the work you’re doing.
Sharing a story of change
If you’ve already been working with Making It Real, you might like to share the story of your journey with us. We are looking for stories that:
- Clearly show how you are using the Making It Real statements to spark discussion and ideas that lead to plans and, ultimately, to change
- Demonstrate active co-production with people who draw on care and support or carers
- Are aligned to the principles outlined in the Making It Real Guide
- Reflect honestly on both successes and challenges along the way
Contribute ideas through a blog post
Whether you are far along your Making It Real journey already or just starting out, our blog could be a place to share your thoughts and ideas. We are looking for contributions that:
- Reflect thoughtfully on any aspect of Making It Real. This could be a particular statement, the overall initiative, why you are using Making It Real, reflections on your journey, or something unique to you
- Are co-produced with people who draw upon care and support themselves, or include contributions in the form of quotes, to ensure that the opinions and ideas of people with lived experience are being shared
Sound good?
