Brighton Students' Union supports students to lead many different societies, all of which can be found here.

If you can't find one you like, why not create your own?

To start up a society you need 3 committee members and 4 members.

Part 1:

Step 1

Determine your aims and objectives

  • Aims – What would your proposed society like to do?
  • Objectives- What steps will you take to achieve this?

Step 2

Check for Duplicates here

  • Does the society already exist?
  • Are there already societies achieving similar aims and objectives?

If they are already out there; join them! If not, move to step 3

Step 3

You'll need:

Committee members of the society must be elected in a fair and democratic way.

Step 4

Name the Society

No Duplicates? Got a full committee? It’s time to decide on a name!

The name of your society should reflect the aims and objectives.

It's important people know what you're about based on your name so try to be as clear as possible.

Keep it simple choose a descriptive name followed by ‘Society’ or ‘Soc’, e.g. Law Society or Band Soc.
