Edinburgh Jelly
The Melting Pot hosted a great Jelly in May 2010 - thanks to everyone who came along. We're planning another one for September 2010 - more details to follow.
We held our first Jelly in December 2009. The next one will be held in May 2010. Those who came in December liked the idea of a short introduction once everyone has arrived. We'd also like some networking time and an open Q&A hour to ask questions to the crowd that we are stuck on. A full day of work together was also seen as a good thing. Everyone was also keen to hear about the next jelly via e-mail.

The Melting Pot is a social enterprise which aims to support and stimulate social innovation through providing friendly, professional shared workspace. We will provide the chairs and sofas, wireless internet, tea and coffee and interesting people to work alongside and bounce ideas off. The workspace is open til 9pm, but for Jelly-ers wanting to chat and socialise, we are handily placed above the Abbotsford Pub. We look forward to meeting you!
I have personally benefited greatly from the experience of working in such an inclusive and professional work space, which I otherwise would not have had access to. I've gained experience and confidence and formed new contacts and connections that I feel are very valuable to me at this early stage of my career. In addition, as the sole employee of our community organisation, working at TMP has enabled me to support our group more effectively. This has made it easier for us to train local people in a wide range of skills related to home energy use, as well as increasing our capacity to work with local people on energy efficiency and fuel poverty issues.
