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.
