I work at the Greater London Authority as the Civil Society Data Officer and have worked in both local and regional Government over the past 5 years. The aim of my role is to support London's Civil Society to develop their data capacity whilst figuring out ways to ensure this on the ground insight can inform policy making taking place in City Hall. The GLA have a great resource, The London Datastore which has hundreds of datasets about Londoners, the economy, local areas and more - reach out if you have any questions about whats on the Datastore and how you might use it!
