A private community space for organisations

Your members, connecting through what they share.

The Bunchups Community Portal brings your members together in one dedicated space to connect through shared activities. Organisations invite members into a private portal where they interact only with others from the same community, and browse and join activities like group walks, social meetups, workshops and events, all in a secure environment built for meaningful connection.

Built for shared experiences

Members discover, plan and take part in activities and events planned by fellow members and by the organisation, creating real opportunities for interaction in a trusted environment.

A safe, verified community space

Access is fully controlled by your organisation. You choose who joins, and every member verifies their profile by selfie before enrolling. External users stay out, and member safety stays at the core.

Reducing isolation through connection

More opportunities to meet, interact and belong help members feel less socially isolated and more connected, strengthening individual wellbeing and the community as a whole.

Privacy and control

Designed with privacy and control at its core.

Unlike open social platforms, the Bunchups Community Portal is intentionally private and organisation-led. You control who joins, how members interact and where content lives.

  • Communities are set up with purpose, never left open or public
  • All content and interactions stay within the portal
  • Communities are not publicly searchable
  • Members interact only within their organisation’s space

That makes it suited to environments where privacy, safety and trust matter: workplaces, aged care communities and private organisations.

Pricing

Pricing tailored to your community.

Pricing for the Community Portal is based on the size of your member base and your organisation’s specific needs.

  • No cost to individual members
  • One annual fee covers the whole community
  • Setup, branding and platform included

Frequently asked questions

Questions, answered.

Who is the Bunchups Community Portal for?
Organisations, clubs and communities that want to help their members connect through shared activities in a private, structured way. That includes workplaces, aged care and senior living communities, clubs, community groups and not-for-profits.
Is the Community Portal private and secure?
Yes. Each portal is private and invite-only. Only approved members can access it, communities are not publicly searchable, and every profile is verified with a phone number and selfie.
How is this different from email, WhatsApp or Facebook groups?
It is activity-led. Members discover, plan and join activities in one place, rather than conversations getting lost in long threads across several platforms. Everything stays organised, private and focused on real-world connection.
Can both organisations and members create activities?
Yes. Organisers can plan and promote activities, and members can create and join activities based on shared interests, which encourages organic connection within the community.
How much work is required to manage the portal?
Very little. Bunchups manages the platform and the technology. Your team gets simple admin controls to manage members and activities, without extra administrative burden.
Do members need to pay to use the portal?
No. There is no cost for individual members. Pricing is based on the size of your organisation or community and is covered by a single annual fee.
How do members join?
Upload members via CSV or invite them directly. Each member receives an invitation to your portal and can only access the community they have been approved for.
