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 Southern Uplands Partnership staff came together from across the Borders and Dumfries & Galloway last week for an Away Day at the lovely Moffat Town Hall. Project teams from Connecting Threads, SBCAN, DECBG, South West Coastal Way and SWSEIC along with SUP's core administration, IT and management staff spent a day thinking about our varied areas of work across the two regions, exploring opportunities for connection and talking about the future of the Southern Uplands Partnership as we enter the organisation's 25th year!

SBCAN hosted SNIFFER for a day of training for Border's organisations and visitors from Fife Climate Hub at Lindean Mill this month.
The day was a chance to think about how to approach conversations and start taking action around Climate Adaptation within our communities- and to invite people to add their own climate stories to the Climate Ready South East Scotland map!
