The London Policy & Strategy Network was delighted to host the Greater London Authority who shared their work helping apply community insights into policy and how we can better collect, make use of and embed community insights to develop policy and support culture change.
Examples of this included the ‘London Community Story’ as a snapshot of Londoners in conversation with each other across key themes; Belonging, Digital Communities, Equality, Identity, Journeys & Travelling, Relationships.
