Welcome to the online learning and networking resource for Sus it Out

Sustainable development is a process of learning and change. Sus it Out enables community and voluntary organisations to work out how they already contribute to sustainable development and to decide how they can build on this for the future.

Sus it Out is managed by the Scottish Civic Forum on behalf of the Future Scotland Partnership with funding from the Scottish Executive.

Groups take part in Sus it Out by:

  • Using the Sus it Out Toolkit with a trained Facilitator
  • Pledging to develop in a more sustainable way
  • Building real and online links with other groups who are trying to Sus it Out.
