Harlawhill Day Centre

That the Parliament commends everyone at the Harlawhill Day Centre in Prestonpans for their dedication in continuing to care for service users, despite having to close the facility during the COVID-19 lockdown; understands that the support and care offered by the Centre’s staff during the pandemic has included organising socially distanced VE Day street party celebrations with some of their members, delivering afternoon teas, which are funded by the Corra Foundation, and soup, sandwiches and cakes, supplying craft activities to help keep people active, giving members Easter eggs and cards, encouraging children to produce cards and pictures to pass on to members, and keeping everyone updated via social media, and thanks the staff and volunteers at Harlawhill, and all of East Lothian’s other day centres, for the care and support that they are continuing to provide to older people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
