Changes to public services or wider practices often takes time. Institutions like hospitals and schools may have followed the same processes for many years, so transforming them quickly isn’t always possible.

Limited budgets and staffing shortages can also slow down progress, making it harder to deliver the improvements people hope for. Even when communities share valuable ideas during consultations, those suggestions may not be put into action right away.

On top of that, decision-makers must balance the views of many different groups, and those perspectives don’t always align.

In short, change is rarely simple or fast. Still, speaking up matters. Every voice helps shape the future and highlights what’s most important to diverse community.
