Social Enterprise

The Liberties Community Project operates two social enterprises- In Our Shoes Walking Tours and Bee 8. Neither project receives any charitable funding.

In Our Shoes Walking Tours provides free, accessible training and employment opportunities for local community members to become professional tour guides of their area. We offer a platform for local people to tell a story about their community that has the potential to change perceptions around the area in addition to providing excellent service to our customers. In Our Shoes has won Travel & Hospitality ‘Walking Tour Company of the Year, Dublin’ in 2022 and 2024.

Bee8 is Ireland’s largest urban apiary project. The project manages 40 beehives across 14 city wide sites on behalf of project partners, provides free beekeeping training programmes to local community members and project partners, manages sensors at hive sites that monitor local environmental performance and operates an outdoor classroom providing informative courses on biodiversity and planting.
