In 2009, the Mayor of London launched the capital's Integration Strategy. In the hope of informing the implementation of the Strategy, the Greater London Authority were looking for case studies that demonstrate how they deliver outcomes associated with integration, their wider impact in terms of cost benefit, social impact and contribution to wider policy objectives. IARS offered to help by illustrating the value of London's youth-led sector in the area of integration.
