These are usually in February, to coincide with Valentine’s Day, and the “heart” theme. They are led by members of the North Berwick class, with excellent support from other classes, and are thus a “county-wide” effort. Held in the Hope Rooms, North Berwick, with wonderful views over the Firth of Forth, they are well-attended, fun and friendly, as well as profitable. In addition to the usual coffee morning fare, fresh fruit is also offered, promoting healthy eating. A very popular home baking stall is organised, in addition to a tombola, and a raffle, well resourced by class members and local businesses. A video containing photos of the event is often produced as a memento. These events bring together members from across the county, providing a chance for them to meet socially. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1586297743757-FQ22UQED3ASFXBEA9UY2/Trans+Alba+Race_71877294_234718614161147_1108506479467260912_n.jpg Events - Trans Alba Race 2019 One of our instructors, Al Langlands, took part in an ultra-distance cycling race around Scotland in 2019. The race spanned 1071 miles, tackled all the major road climbs in the country and Al had to carry all of his clothes and kit. He finished in just under a week and managed to raise around £2500. You can read more about his adventure here. https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/events/grand-draw monthly 0.5 2020-03-27 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/events/elcrg-agm monthly 0.5 2020-03-27 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/blog daily 0.75 2024-04-08 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/blog/check-out-some-bslm-blogs-here monthly 0.5 2024-01-12 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/blog/joans-story monthly 0.5 2021-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1615980972726-O6KO2GT5M9FUJE5P8OY5/Joan+B+photo.jpg Resources - Joan’s Story My daughter advised me to start singing. She is a nurse and she told me that singing was one of the best things I could do to improve my breathing, and she had heard there was a singing for lung health group meeting at MECA in Musselburgh, so she phoned Jane and I started coming – back in March 2019. My first thought was ‘I can’t sing!’ but I thought about it for a few weeks and then told myself ‘if it helps your breathing, Joan, give it a go!’ It was the best thing I ever did. You don’t have to be singer. I had lung cancer and then I was diagnosed with COPD. I needed something to take my mind off things and to help my breathing. It has helped my breathing enormously. The exercises that we do at the beginning of each class really help to open up my lungs. Anything that makes singing easier also helps with your breathing. I notice the difference when I’m going around the house. Before I used to struggle for breath when I was going upstairs – I used to have to stop, but now I can manage most of the time without stopping. After a singing class I can go into the kitchen and do a bit more - like make a cup of tea or a sandwich. I feel uplifted and I know I’m breathing better. The hours immediately after Warblers I feel I'm also using my inhaler less. Now if I’m feeling breathless I go to The Warblers videos on the website, and even if it’s only for 5 minutes it helps. It’s great knowing that the videos are there if I need them. Singing to me works as well as using my inhaler - and it’s more fun! https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/classes daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/fdebd18f-5601-4e16-ae6f-d2b67078d2b5/timetable+nov+2025.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/b7accabc-f2f5-4670-aa2b-661fbf217747/IMG_8686.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/0ac21d74-77c4-4697-b327-6d85be450176/tranent.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/f7323aab-6356-4610-91fd-3725b14a7e4b/Image+%2811%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/ec34ce67-7c88-4301-8577-6bdb402cc5b7/IMG_8880.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/3cc990e0-a73f-45a1-9d30-80cf9e1cff3d/LiveWell%2BEL%2BGroup%2BNorth%2BBerwick%2B301020%2B1.JPG https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-01-13 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/about-us daily 0.75 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/6cf3b7b7-894d-42a8-a0de-f35bdf27bf2f/Signature+version.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/bc9e6079-2d6d-45be-9f3d-aee82899e986/Image+%2811%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1585908882189-TS1YV47IBJJXTLWZPY54/Anna+Profile2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/7b6b29c4-8997-41ed-a4ca-2131265aa0c3/Laura.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/a8cb0165-619d-427f-afcc-0b49baebf31b/profile+web+site+pic.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/081da343-2c1e-4696-acb4-6f8a58626cb0/NS+LW+pic.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1633613845015-54FGOWVNHSSODOYVNBDT/Chris%2BProfile.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1585908937259-GDQ5O8KF4HL20KI6IRH3/Morag+Profile2.png https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/home daily 1.0 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/c12d7d7b-6d55-44be-953a-54dfbb440466/NB-out-for-lunch.jpg https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/fundraising daily 0.75 2025-04-25 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2025-04-04 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/lead-resources daily 0.75 2024-11-07 https://www.livewelleastlothian.org/classmembers/welcome daily 0.75 2024-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1589642108635-5XLN09MZ2T6X51BESRHE/Join+class+L2+v2.png Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1586960705366-SK22Y2Q5CSMU1IBD9WFQ/Screenshot_20200415-152117.jpg Members - Level 2 - (Cardiac Rehab) Exercise Session Plan A guided session plan, taking you through a full session as it would be conducted in class but adapted for the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1586961080674-6EHE30T1FVWVMAMRY5NP/Screenshot_20200415-152240.jpg Members - Level 1 - (Stroke Rehab) Exercise Session Plan A guided session plan, taking you through a full session as it would be conducted in class but adapted for the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73f9d82690692c9573ed23/1586961865845-ZVUPOK491V7CCNIWRKHQ/Screenshot_20200415-154133.jpg Members - Chair Based Exercise - Home Exercise Programme Later Life Training are the training providers for our instructors.
