The world around us has changed significantly since the 23rd of March when Scotland went into lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. There is much uncertainty about our economic and social recovery but one thing that is certain is that the world as we know it will change. This presents us with an opportunity to forge stronger cross sector partnerships that shape a more equal and compassionate East Lothian, where all residents are considered equal and resources are targeted to ensure that equality of opportunity is the main driver.
We are delighted to have in attendance our 3 Keynote Speakers:
