Running a men's shed with 10+ working and social groups — from heavy workshop equipment to a choral group — means managing $120/year memberships with quarterly join options, scheduling across diverse programs, coordinating volunteer-led activities, hiring out facilities, and maintaining safety documentation. With 2,241 contacts and 2,888 emails sent, communication is constant.

TidyHQ runs the shed's memberships ($120/year full, $60 quarterly), event scheduling for all groups, meeting records for governance, the shop for workshop materials, and file storage for safety documents. A custom domain at mpms.org.au serves as the public front door. Nearly 2,900 emails sent through the platform demonstrate active member engagement.

Volunteer time is finite. Mosman Park Men's Community Shed now spends it where it matters — on their members, not on admin.

From their public website to membership renewals to event management, Mosman Park Men's Community Shed handles it all from one dashboard. New committee members inherit a working system, not a collection of logins and spreadsheets.
