Born from a lockdown project to help small businesses, Keep Edinburgh Thriving has grown into a local newsletter spotlighting independent cafés, makers, venues, and businesses.
Our Mission
We’re not your typical local newsletter.We don’t chase clicks. We chase connection. We shine a light on the small, the independent, the quietly brilliant.
We celebrate the people who make this city feel alive. We believe local isn’t small — it’s powerful.
We’re here to remind Edinburgh it’s still thriving.
