The motion

That the Parliament recognises and commends the outstanding response to the COVID-19 pandemic by resilience groups and volunteers across East Lothian; notes that over 1,500 volunteers have become involved in community support activity via these groups, helping to organise and carry out a wide range of tasks to inform, advise and assist residents, especially people who are shielding or self-isolating; acknowledges the important work undertaken by staff at East Lothian Council, especially its local area partnerships, community councils, community and residents' associations and groups, charities and voluntary groups and businesses to help establish, co-ordinate and support the resilience effort to ensure that the most vulnerable in the community have the support that they need during the crisis, and thanks everyone involved in this activity for their contribution to community resilience and cohesion across the county during this unprecedented time.
