Our students and staff did an outstanding job at Upmo’s Annual Sponsored Walk in September.
With the grand total now in, we're deeply thankful to everyone who contributed so generously—thanks to you, we reached a total of £1726!🥰
Thank you again!
Our Connect Outdoors programme wrapped after nine weeks. Students tackled seven hikes from sunny Braehills to a rain-soaked Arthur’s Seat. The final trek was fully student-led, showcasing real teamwork and independence. ❤️

The new Upmo van is outside Waverley Station in Edinburgh. There is a CrossCountry train in the background. Upmo's CEO Mark sits inside the van. Upmo's Fundraising Manager Lisa, Upmo Eat Student Lewis and Stakeholder Liaison Manager Alex from CrossCountry stand in front of the van.
We’re excited to unveil our brand-new electric van, delivering skills and building confidence across our social enterprise projects in Edinburgh, Prestonpans and Gorebridge.
Made possible thanks to the incredible support of the @crosscountryuk.bsky.social Customer and Communities Improvement Fund!
In a recent Edinburgh Leisure customer survey, our Upmo Eat cafés received extremely high scores for customer satisfaction 🙌🏼 We’re at Drumbrae, Victoria Leith and Ainslie Park so pop in for an outstanding lunch, cake and coffee from our collaboration with Forth Coffee Roasters ☕️🥪
