For community groups
Free for every community group, forever
Not a trial, not a starter tier with the useful parts locked. Halls, clubs, churches, P&Cs, Landcare groups and men's sheds use the whole of OurHub without a card on file.
Everything a committee juggles, on one screen
No spreadsheets in three inboxes, no shared password on a sticky note.
One sign-in, and the whole week’s committee work is behind it.
What is included, all of it free
Your web page
A proper web page with your own address, menu and colours. Add sections for anything: history, committee, bushfire info.
Posts
News and notices in plain words, published when you are ready, instead of thirty posts down a feed.
Events with RSVPs
Once it is full, the rest wait in order and move up if someone pulls out. The names are on your phone when people turn up.
Members
People apply from your page, juniors with a guardian attached. Note each payment against the member, and the register is right whenever you export it.
Local directory
The hall, the brigade, the vet, the sparky: one list the committee keeps.
Facility bookings
Each hall has a page of its own: what it costs, and a form to ask for a date. The committee says yes or no; nothing is booked by itself.
Put it to the town
A yes or no, a pick-one, a rank-these. The count sits on the page as people answer, and it downloads as a spreadsheet.
Emergency alerts
Committee alerts in the standard warning colours, plus official RFS and BOM warnings relayed automatically for your area.
Projects and local stories
Give each project a page people can check on, from the first meeting to the opening.
Put it to the town
Ask a question and the tally is there on the page for everyone as the answers come in. When it closes, download the spreadsheet and put it in the submission, so "people want this" has a number behind it.
1. Which playground concept should we build?
5 responses
Responses arrive from the town, counted live.
Whole towns, linked up
A township hub sits above every group in town: one front door for the district, with each community running its own page underneath. Groups ask for the link, the hub approves it, and the map builds itself.
- Every linked community appears on the hub automatically
- Your news and events roll up to the town and the region, credited to you
- Each group's page links back to its town
- Notices work upward too: tell the town a road is closed, from your own dashboard
What committees usually ask
We're not techy. Honestly, how hard is it?
Nothing to learn first. You start from a working page, not a blank one, and drafts stay private until you publish. There is a short guide behind each screen.
What happens when someone leaves the committee?
Whoever takes over signs in and finds everything where it was: pages, members, bookings, alerts. Everyone has their own login, so nothing leaves with one person and no password lives on a sticky note.
Really free? What's the catch?
No catch and no card. Local businesses pay to be listed in the town directory, and that is what funds the community side. It is a standing policy, not a promotion. If it ever had to change you would get generous notice, and it is written into our terms.
Does money go through OurHub?
No. There are no online payments in OurHub. People pay your group the way they always have, and the treasurer notes it against the member.
Whose data is it?
Yours. Export your members, responses and records as CSV any time. If you leave, take everything with you.
We hold kids' names and parents' phone numbers. Who can see the register?
Only the people your committee has given a login to. Nothing about a member ever appears on the public page, and the page sets no cookies and runs no trackers, so nobody outside the group is watching either. Anyone under 16 applies with a parent or guardian attached. When a parent asks what you hold about their child, you export that one record, not the whole register. And when a family has been gone a couple of years, a housekeeping tool finds the lapsed entries so you can clear them out, instead of keeping phone numbers forever.
Our town already has a Facebook group. Why bother?
Because a Facebook group is not searchable, not yours, and not there in five years. A hub gives the town one address that newcomers can find, that shows up in a search, and that the committee, not an algorithm, decides what goes on. Plenty of groups run both.
