Frequently Asked Questions

What is Townbase and how would our trade and other union use it?

Townbase is an online events and community guide that runs under your own name and web address. Your members see a familiar, branded calendar for meetings, training, conferences, campaigns, and news instead of a mix of random tools and links.

Can different branches or regions have their own calendars?

Yes. Each branch, region, or section can have its own calendar view, with local meetings and events. Everything still runs on one national platform, so you keep a clear overview of what is happening across the whole organisation.

Can we show some events only to members and keep others public?

You can. For each event you choose if it is members only, open to specific groups, or fully public. That way you can keep private meetings private, while still promoting public campaigns and open events to supporters and the wider community.

Do we need our IT team or developers to manage it?

No. Staff and local officers can add and update events themselves from an admin area. Your IT team can help with setup if you like, but day to day control sits with the people who run the meetings and activities. They can also set-up content fetching to your existing websites and services so you only have to update content once.

How is this better than our current mix of Google Calendar, emails, and social media?

Right now your events are likely scattered across calendars, PDFs, emails, and social posts that go out of date. With Townbase you point members to one trusted place to check what is on, search by branch or topic, and see what is coming up without digging through their inbox. In addition, unlike other platforms you are the registry keeper on a European platform which is fully GDPR compliant.

How much time will it take to get started?

Most unions and associations can get a branded site running in days, not months. We help you set up your main structure, show you how to add events and branches, and you can grow from there at your own pace.
