Great to catch up with the Haddington Central TRA group at Knox Academy. Lots of issues raised that matter to the local community such as spending, 20mph signage and overgrown hedges. All will be followed up. Even talk of Christmas storytelling events! π π

A huge thank you to Team @HSEastLothian for another very powerful AGM. It really brought to light for me the huge difference the local groups are making to parents & carers. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. Over the year supported 143 families with 246 children.
