The Melting Pot is Scotland’s Centre for Social Innovation. An inspiring community of people striving to make the world a better place.

Our vision: A world which has a vibrant, creative, resilient and effective social innovation community.

Our mission: To support and stimulate social innovation.

Our values: Respectful, practical, inspiring, connecting and transformational.

We work across three business strands to support and stimulate social innovation in Scotland:

1. A place to meet, work and collaborate. The Melting Pot is your go-to destination for flexible, creative and budget-friendly solutions for today’s dynamic world of work. Our central Edinburgh coworking hub offers a warm and inviting workspace away from home, whilst our meeting rooms provide a convenient venue for upcoming events. Most importantly, here you can find our friendly, engaged community of individuals and organisations doing good for people and the planet.

2. A champion of Good Ideas. Our incubator programme equips budding social entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills and networks to turn ideas into positive, impactful ventures.

3. A connector and exchanger of knowledge. We share our expertise with other organisations to develop thriving places with purpose, and we host inspiring events to educate, connect and inspire.

Help us grow and support a thriving community of Scottish businesses that put people and the planet first.
