The rural support scheme is running again this year. All households in
the ward are now eligible for a small payment. This payment is
administrated by Garvald and Morham Community Council with Crystal Rig
Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund in recognition of the limited choices
available when selecting services to rural homes, including fuel bills,
transport and broadband options.

The 2026 amount will be £150 per household.

Please note that the GMCC support payment is available to homes in
Garvald and Morham Ward only and applications will be checked against
the Ward address list provided to us by East Lothian Council.

Only one payment can be claimed per household so please confer with
others before completing the form.

To claim, complete the online form here: https://forms.gle/EZ3XdKwfx655cDb1A

The deadline for applications is 30th November 2026.

This project is run by Garvald and Morham Community Council. We can be
contacted at secgmcc@gmail.com for any queries.

The next GMCC meeting will be held in Morham Village Hall on Monday 17th August at 7.30pm.

The questionnaire asks for parents and carers’ understanding of their entitlement, their current use of childcare and potential future plans, their experiences accessing provision and their priorities when choosing Early Learning and Childcare. Parents are also asked whether they would wish to pay for additional hours, such as before or after standard drop-off and pick-up times, at council or private provider settings.

The survey will be open until 9 March 2026 and is available online here if you would like to take part.
