We brought a halal menu to Mathys & Squire for a workplace gathering during Ramadan.
Food gave the event a shared focal point, with room for colleagues to eat together and learn about the occasion.
For an organiser planning a Ramadan event, the starting point is the people observing it. Ask what would be welcome, confirm the timing with the host and make room for prayer and different ways of participating. Do not assume that a daytime food event works for colleagues who are fasting.
Thank you to Mathys & Squire for inviting us to be part of the gathering.
