Story

We are looking at different ways we can support families across EL during this pandemic. If you are still being paid and are working from home would you consider donating your commuting coffee cost, commuting fund or a small donation to help us? We know we are all needing to be careful but any small donation will help. We are also applying for grants which are currently being made available for this work.
Many people will be struggling to provide the essentials for their families at this time including food, household essentials and simple activities for the children to do at home. We are going to be working with the East Lothian Foodbank and WeeRedupcycles over the coming weeks and months to ensure all those who need support can receive it. This means not only the families we currently work with but families who will now find themselves in need of some support.
Any extra monies at the end will be kept within the realms it has been raised, supporting the Foodbank and Weeredupcyles.
