The mission of Common Knowledge is to empower people to create sustainable, affordable and happy homes.

We believe our homes are the foundation for the life we want to build - but less of us than ever can afford to rent, buy or build a place to live. Even fewer of us feel confident in our ability to create a sustainable home life.
 
We share skills through hands-on courses - skills like building, growing, making and mending. We’ve countless stories of people for whom our courses have sparked the confidence needed to overcome their fear of building. 
 
We apply these skills to community projects with mission-aligned groups - like when our community built a new home for local reforestation charity Hometree in 2021. 
 
We research & develop sustainable products and services 
like sheeps wool insulation, which harnesses the natural strengths of a material commonly considered a waste product

We do all of this near to nature in the west of Ireland, where we’re steeped in a vibrant rural culture, never far from a seaswim, or a cosy pint, and where the meals we prepare for all our visitors are fresh, organic and nutritious.

So far, people who take our courses tell us that they leave feeling twice as confident to take on their own projects. Which makes us twice as happy we decided to do this.
