The Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh

ACE is a self-managed, unfunded (this means we're completely independent) social resource Center. We're open for groups or individuals to use who are trying to make a better society and improve their lives. If you have a project you want to get off the ground but are struggling for lack of resources ACE is the place for you. There's also different projects already happening at ACE who'd all love for new folk to get involved.

We welcome you to drop by when we're open or to come to one of our friendly open organising meetings which happen on the first Wednesday of every month at 7:30 pm.

We're open each Tuesday from 1 -4pm for the Edinburgh Claimants drop-in advice and solidarity session on debt, dole and housing hassles. The leith wholefood food co-op shop and infoshop are open then too.

We're open each Saturday from 10-6pm for the food co-op shop, infoshop and free internet access.

Each Sunday we have a free/donation film screening at 3pm. Check the events section for the latest listings.

We are child friendly and wheel chair accessible.

ACE exists to support and encourage people to take more control of their lives.
We believe in people co-operating as equals to create a shared world free from exploitation. We work together in the spirit of mutual aid.
