Oldham Athletic Community Trust

One of the six original 1986 Football in the Community pilot clubs, now building their business club out on Trust Hub.

Adrian Stores, Commercial & Fundraising Manager, filmed at Boundary Park · 1:09
  • 1 commercial manager, so the software carries the admin
  • 10 networking events a year
  • 13 business club members going into the directory
  • 3 revenue lines coming onto one system

Oldham are a new customer, and Net Hub is listed as an Affinity Partner alongside the other organisations with revenue-share agreements with the trust. Adrian is on the record, by name, on camera, and is happy to take a call from another trust that wants to hear it from him.

"You attended 4 of 6 events. You made 11 connections. You gave 3 introductions and received 2."

That is the whole argument for next year's fee, and none of it is typed up by hand. Attendance comes from check-in. Connections come from the app. Introductions are logged by the two members involved. The value is entered by the member who won the work, so it is their number, not your estimate.

  • Sent automatically before renewal, or exported as a PDF
  • The trust sees the same numbers across every member
  • Quiet members surface months before the invoice, while there is time to act
  • Total business attributed becomes a headline for next year's recruitment

See it on your own member list

The report is built from data the system already holds, so the first one can go out at the end of your current membership year.

Business club introductions, made easy

Members connect and do business in a few clicks, and every introduction stays visible and traceable for the club.

Made from the directory

A member finds another member in the directory and introduces them to a contact. Both sides get it in the app, on the record from the moment it happens.

Followed to a number

The receiving member marks it won and enters what it was worth. That turns "we ran ten events" into a figure: the business your members did with each other this year.

Visible to the trust

The trust sees who gives, who receives and who has had a quiet year. One dashboard, the whole club, updated as members use it.

One system for members and staff

Members join, connect and book in your own app. You run renewals, events and fundraising from one dashboard.

People can join at 10pm on a Sunday

Safeguarding

Trust Hub holds businesses, never participants.

We hold no participant records. No young people, no health or social-prescribing data, no case notes, no consent forms. Nothing that sits inside your safeguarding policy.

Trust Hub holds the businesses that support you: your business club, your patrons, your corporate partners, your event bookers. Your delivery system holds the people you support. We only want to be the first one.

  • No participant records
  • No health or education data
  • UK-hosted, GDPR, DPA responsibilities documented
  • Export everything, any time

This is who picks up

Tim's direct email and number are below. He runs the call himself.

Before it goes to trustees

Does this hold any data about the people we support?

No. Trust Hub holds businesses, members and event bookers. No participants, no young people, no health or education records, no case notes. If a piece of data would sit inside your safeguarding policy, it does not belong in Trust Hub and we have not built anywhere to put it.

Is an introduction the same as a referral?

No, and we are careful with the word. In your sector a referral is a young person sent in by a school, a GP or a social worker. Trust Hub never touches that. An introduction is one member passing business to another, and it is the only thing we track.

Do we have to stop using Views or Upshot?

No, and you shouldn't. They measure participants for funders. We measure businesses for your commercial income. Different data, different buyer, different governance. CSV export both ways and Zapier cover almost every integration question that comes up.

What does it actually cost?

£0 setup, £0 monthly, 3% on tickets sold. There is no per-member fee and no licence. Card processing is at cost and shown separately. You take the ticket money at the point of sale. We never hold your funds.

We already use Charity Hive. Why change?

You may not need to change your ticketing at all. The gap Charity Hive does not fill is everything after the ticket: the directory, the introductions, the membership subscriptions and the report that shows a member the return on their support. That is the part your renewals depend on.

Our site sits on the club's domain. Can we still do this?

Yes. That is the reason it works. Trust Hub is your own branded member area and app on your own address, so nothing needs to go through the club's digital agency or their release schedule. Charlton run cact.gives and charltonevents.com the same way.

Who owns the member data?

The trust does. Export the full member list, the directory, the introductions log and the event history at any time, in CSV. If you leave, you leave with all of it.

How long until our business club is actually on it?

Send us the member list and we will have the directory and the tiers up for you to look at. The part that takes time is your members completing their own profiles, which is why we start with the directory rather than with the app.

Can we speak to a trust already using it?

Yes. Oldham Athletic Community Trust are a customer and an Affinity Partner, and Adrian Stores is happy to talk to another trust. Ask Tim to make the introduction.

Start with the directory

Send your member list and we will show you what it looks like searchable, before you commit to anything.
