Turn your garden or your living room into your own personal basecamp this weekend and stream some of the quality festival entertainment right onto your screen. The best part – all proceeds go to supporting the NHS Charities. Every “camping fee” donation of £2 (or more if you like) will help NHS staff with food, assistance packages, sleeping pods and emotional support.

On 23 April 2020, I set out the framework we will use for decision making as we continue to supress COVID-19 and minimise its harms, while also seeking to ease the lockdown.
There are no simple solutions to the challenges that lie ahead, and no quick-fixes that will allow us to lift restrictions quickly or dramatically. However, we know how important it is to restore as much normality to life as soon as we can.
In the weeks and months ahead we will all need to continue to play our part in Scotland’s response to the disease. To protect each other, our lives are not going to go back to exactly how they were. Instead, we will need to continue to adapt our behaviour to reduce the risk of the disease spreading. We will need to continue with physical distancing and good hand and respiratory hygiene, including the appropriate use of face coverings.
The CO-OP have launched an online community support platform, Co-operate, to connect you to those who need support, and can support, during the crisis.
Co-operate’s mission is to help people make good things happen in communities:
A garden waste collection will take place over two weekends – 2/3 May and 9/10 May.
During these weekends residents should place their brown bin at the kerbside on the relevant Saturday morning no later than 07:00 and leave out until collected which can be up to 4pm on the Sunday.
East Lothian Council crews will collect from all properties however issues may arise out-with their control where they are unable to complete a collection given the scale of the operation being carried out or due to access issues. If this occurs, ELC apologise in advance to any residents who may miss this collection. If your bin is not collected by 4pm on the Sunday please retrieve your brown bin and continue to store your garden waste until ELC have the resources available to attempt collections again.
