COVID-19-related support: Discretionary Fund for business

Do you know of any East Lothian businesses or self-employed people who have not yet qualified for any COVID-19-related support grant funding?

East Lothian Council’s Discretionary Fund will open for applications today (Wednesday 3rd February), with a closing date of 5pm on Monday 8th February – so it’s very important that applications are submitted quickly.

More details are in the news release issued yesterday.

The application form is on our dedicated business support web page – which also contains other really useful information on grants, loans & other financial support for businesses at this time.

Community support briefing – Jan 2021

In light of the latest government restrictions, I am forwarding the attached briefing note to you on behalf of Sharon Saunders, our Head of Communities & Partnerships. I hope you find it useful to see this summary of the national position and the impact on some council services. I think you might find it particularly useful to see the summary of advice for the shielding community and our more vulnerable residents – and the information on financial advice too.
