Funding to help families through the summer holidays has been cut by nearly two-thirds in East Lothian by the Scottish Government this year.
East Lothian Council said it was only told it would receive just under £65,000 from the government's Targeted Provision for School Aged Children, Summer 2023 programme as the schools were preparing to break up for the holiday.
The reduction from last year's £161,000 left the council having to make last minute decision about where to use the funding.
