The Charity
Norton Park supports Edinburgh’s vibrant community of non-profit organisations.
We offer quality, affordable, and accessible office space. This helps charities and social enterprises stay resilient, efficient, and effective. We also encourage tenants to network, share resources, and boost employee wellbeing.
Our event space is both affordable and wheelchair-friendly. Non-profits, community groups and local businesses use it to meet, host, and connect. Income from venue hire is re-invested in our charitable aims.
