# SupporterBase Guides

### About SupporterBase 

SupporterBase is an online platform that is connected to your organisation’s database of supporters. It helps volunteer leaders communicate with local supporters, and coordinate group activities, to build grassroots power.

SupporterBase is designed to be easy to use, removing the complexity you get with big databases. It enables volunteer leaders to call, text or email supporters in their group without using social media channels, their own phone credit or having to type out lots of phone numbers or email addresses. All the replies are in the one place, and everything can be recorded easily. Volunteer leaders can manage events using a public webpage for promotion, and keep track of RSVPs, attendees and new volunteers. 

### Why SupporterBase?

SupporterBase draws on the principles of ‘distributed organising’, which seeks to grow and sustain campaigns and organisations through grassroots leadership. Distributed organising recognises that the resources of professional organisers are finite, and that committed local volunteers have an extremely valuable contribution to make when it comes to mobilising local support for an issue or organisation, not least due to their intimate knowledge of and connection to their own local community. 

### Using SupporterBase
