The old way vs the Swoop way

Most committees run on six apps and one tired volunteer. Here is the same work in Swoop.

Mansfield Shire groups: Community Volunteer Support Opportunity

Four Mansfield Shire community groups will be selected at random to receive a 12-month Swoop subscription, free, thanks to Community Bank Mansfield & District. To take part, list your group on Community Connect. Already signed up? You’re already in the running.

Groups must be incorporated, not already using Swoop, and not one of the partners. Entries close 11:59pm Friday 27 November 2026 and groups are selected at random on 30 November. Promoted by MACE Incorporated. Full terms apply.

How Swoop compares

Member list

The old way: a spreadsheet on one person’s laptop. The Swoop way: one member list the whole committee can see.

Subs and renewals

The old way: a bank app, a group chat and “Who do I pay?”. The Swoop way: renewals, reminders and paid status in one place.

Events and tickets

The old way: a ticket website and a separate list of names. The Swoop way: events and bookings linked to your members.

Volunteers and rosters

The old way: a paper roster on the fridge and a quiet group chat. The Swoop way: open shifts that volunteers take themselves.

Meetings and minutes

The old way: “Minutes FINAL v2” in five inboxes. The Swoop way: agendas, minutes and decisions you can search.

WWCC and compliance

The old way: a spreadsheet of numbers and expiry dates. The Swoop way: expiry dates with reminders before they run out.

When someone resigns

The old way: the admin leaves with them. The Swoop way: anyone on the committee can pick it up.
