How to: Form a society

LUU has 320+ fantastic clubs and societies providing students recreational opportunities. Our societies and the staff and student leaders who support them combine to create a fun, celebrated, and lively community that we are proud to be a part of. If you have a new idea for a club or society, then the Activities Executive want to hear about it! This guide will outline the steps and considerations you must take for the best chances of a successful formation.

You will be undertaking an exciting project with your application with the chance to learn some excellent skills. However, please note that we are limited in the number of groups we can form each year. Therefore, this is a competitive process, and the Activities Executive are looking to see your idea at its best, understand the impact you will make, and be sustainable for years to come.

In short, the formations process is as follows:

Step one: Your big idea

Step five: Staff review

Step six: The meeting

Step seven: Student vote
