• We’re proud to introduce Make a Change RCT — our new digital platform designed to put our communities at the heart of local decision-making. 

    This platform is part of our wider commitment through the HDRC to build a more inclusive, evidence-informed Council — one where staff, residents and partners work together to tackle the root causes of inequality and improve life chances for all. 

    What is Make a Change?   
    Make a Change is a space where: 

    🗣️ Staff and residents can share ideas to improve services and community well-being.  

    📊 Feedback and lived experience help shape Council policies and priorities. 

    🤝 Lived Experience Advisors and staff collaborate on projects that address the wider determinants of health.

    📢 Everyone has a voice in shaping the future of RCT. 

    Why it matters 

     This platform supports the HDRC's vision of:  
    •  Embedding research and evidence into everyday decision-making.  
    •  Creating a culture of co-production with citizens. 
    •  Building a Council that is research-active, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
