GLA’s response:

Please find below the information we hold within the scope of your request.

What celebrations and events has your organisation had relating to Ramadan 2024?

A lunchtime lived experience session held on Microsoft Teams with around 150 people joining to learn about Ramadan; and a staff iftar held at City Hall with around 80 attendees.

The GLA supported the delivery of the Open Iftar on Trafalgar Square on 8 April 2024 through advice to the event organisers (as we do in our events role with other supported events). There is no funding provided by the GLA for this event.

 

How many staff have attended Ramadan celebrations during working hours?

None as the sessions were run outside of work hours - one during lunch and one after work.

 

What is the total cost of Ramadan celebrations, events and displays?

The staff iftar food cost is £3,823.20.

If you have any further questions relating to this matter, please contact me, quoting the reference MGLA270324-9718.
