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.

Our recently appointed Development Manager Tim, and Community Officer Jamie spent Friday out and about touring East Dumfriesshire. We visited a number of projects supported by our partnership with the Dumfriesshire East Community Benefit Group. including the Eskdalemuir Community Hub & Old School Cafe. It was a great opportunity to learn more about the vital work they are doing to tackle rural isolation and discuss the challenges the local the community face. Particularly nice to see their DECBG funded community arts work in action, with their new kiln and pottery classes helping both community spirit and creativity to thrive.
