We wanted to establish a society that celebrates a city we are proud of whilst creating something that the wider university community can enjoy. Liverpool has a particularly strong sense of identity, shaped by its history, humour, music, football and, above all, its people. We feel that this is something worth celebrating and sharing with others.

Having a society dedicated to Liverpool would also provide an opportunity for students with a shared connection or interest in the city to meet, particularly those who may be studying away from home and would appreciate a sense of familiarity and community. Equally, we want to welcome people who have never visited Liverpool but are interested in learning more about its culture and heritage.

We also recognise that university societies play an important role in helping students make friends outside their courses and usual social circles. We hope to offer something a little different from the typical university social, with affordable, accessible and varied events that don't revolve solely around alcohol. We would also like to collaborate with other cultural societies, reflecting Liverpool's own history of diversity and multiculturalism.

Finally, we see the society as an opportunity to bring together people from different backgrounds, encourage new friendships and create connections that could extend beyond university. We want to build a community that is welcoming, inclusive and representative of the spirit of Liverpool.

Ultimately, we are starting Scouse Society because we are proud of where we come from, want to share that with others, and believe that a common interest in a city can be a great starting point for friendship, community and opportunity.
