About Us

Who we are

The Southern Uplands Partnership (SUP) is a rural development charity, started in 1999 by local people keen to keep the communities and countryside of the south of Scotland alive and healthy.

The charity spans the breadth of southern Scotland from Dumfries & Galloway in the west to the Scottish Borders in the east, and works with a whole host of people, groups, government bodies, agencies and councils.

Such a wonderfully inspirational study visit today to Tarras Valley Nature Reserve as part of our All Staff away day. Really fascinating to learn more about their journey to land ownership, and both the opportunities and challenges for nature restoration at a landscape scale. Thank you so much to Jenny and Kat all for your time today, and we hope to be back again very soon!
