Thank you all for your support. Update from Jim Herron - Chair of ELTRP I hope everyone is staying safe and managing to give support where you can in your local communities. At this extremely challenging time Executive Committee members and local Tenant and Residents Groups continue to do tremendous work in their local communities including doing regular shopping trips for some of the elderly, supporting medical needs and phoning neighbours for a chat. The new Monksmuir Residents Association is looking out for residents living near them and making sure they have the support they need. Ormiston West members are doing shopping for neighbours, gathering and delivering wood for tenants. These tasks, however small contribute to people feeling safe and less isolated. You should all feel proud of the support you have given, and continue to give, to your local communities / neighbours and I really look forward to hearing what your local Group is doing; share ideas, keep safe and keep connected! Hints & Tips guideWe have created a Hints & Tips guide based on our experience using Zoom, Skype and Teams to help you navigate online meetings.
