As mentioned, we have built an engaged combined digital audience that tops 140,000 across all of our channels – not bad for a town with a population of under 10,000! The majority of of our most engaged audience – followers, readers, listeners and viewers – live within an hour’s drive time of Cupar. Analytics enables us to monitor and evaluate key data relating to more than 100,000 blog readers across the world. As a result, we know we have advocates in more than 135 countries covering every time zone … all helping to amplify Cupar’s message.

And because we have such an amazing audience, Cupar’s diaspora, we have opened the opportunity for anyone – be they at home or on the other side of the world – to support our work.

We will stress: we are NOT a charity … we are a small, local company. We welcome any contribution – no matter how small – to the CuparNow Crowdfunding page (accessed via this link or by clicking on the image below). Thank you!

Don’t just take our word for it …

The following demonstrate CuparNow’s impact and successes better than anything we can say. And there are historic testimonials from community groups and charities that can be read via this link.

“Our Association is home to a thriving community centre which runs Cupar Camera Club, Cupar Model Railway Club, Cupar Art Club, Ferryfield Nursery and Playgroup, North-East Fife Credit Union, Cupar Amateur Musical Society as well as other community groups and individuals who make use of the venue. During 2019, the Association needed to raise £130,000 to build an extension to their premises. Cupar Now supported our grant applications through helping us gather community support and gathering evidence: without their support, we would have been unable to successfully complete our project. Over the past five years I, along with the groups I represent, have worked with Cupar Now, which has supported, provided guidance and given access to the Cupar and District community at large to strengthen community partnership working through face to face and digital partnerships. Since the establishment of Cupar Now, businesses and the community have thrived. I am aware of the significant drop in vacancy rates that so benefited the town during some of the most challenging times of Covid and lockdowns. Undoubtedly, CuparNow’s constant promotion helped to raise Cupar’s profile.”

Raymond H Young, Secretary, Castlehill Community Association

 

“Three Estates Cupar (SC048967) is a small local charity, dedicated to the promotion of the area’s history and heritage. In particular, it promotes Cupar’s most famous son, Sir David Lindsay of The Mount, and his play – the oldest surviving Scottish play – Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis. We have very limited funds and have found the support from CuparNow absolutely vital. The success of our events is the direct result of CuparNow spreading the word and supporting us on the day. Our plans for the next five years are already being discussed with them, and we look forward very much to being able to continue working with CuparNow in delivering our aspirations.”

Bill Pagan, Chair, Three Estates Cupar

 

“Cupar Now has become the popular on-line ‘commercial’ platform which sustains the identity of Cupar as the market-place of the District … and has developed the professional on-line hub of news of the social activities within Cupar and the network of communities around the burgh.”

David Kirk, Chair, Cupar & District u3a
