We often focus on moments of rapid change, but some of the most meaningful progress happens so gradually that it can be easy to miss. A river returning to health. A neighbourhood brought back to life by dedicated volunteers. Renewable energy becoming an everyday part of the landscape. Mental health being discussed more openly, or LGBTQ+ people finding greater acceptance. Shifts that took years – even decades or even longer – to become visible.
We’d love to hear about the positive changes you’ve witnessed over time. They could be personal, local or global; environmental, cultural or social. Perhaps you’ve seen attitudes shift, a long-term project bear fruit, a community come together, or a place, species or landscape recover against the odds.
Using the form below, tell us what changed, how long it took, and why it has stayed with you. We will publish our favourite answers in the next issue of Positive News magazine. We can’t promise to print them all, but we will read them.
