Annual Report 2019 / 2020
As always, we thank the many people who support our work in cash or in kind. We are very fortunate to
have excellent project staff and a supportive and active Board.
We would like to thank our Patrons for the generous support they give and thanks too to those who make annual donations. Without such support we would not be able to function.
The fact that Southern Uplands Partnership is still working, and growing, 20 years after it was established suggests we have got something right.
