Got a great idea for a group? Apply today and become UCB Guid's  newest society! 

UCB Guild is run by students, for students. All of our societies are student run and student led, created by students just like you who want to come together to build an amazing community experience at UCB. Creating your own society comes with lots of great benefits, including:

• Access to funding
• Access to booking rooms at UCB
• Publicity and promotion through Guild channels, including across campus
• Support, development and guidance from staff and officers in the Guild
• An amazing community support network from fellow clubs and societies

 

Nearly all societies and clubs are accepted, so don't be worried about putting an idea forward. We'll help you to get your idea off of the ground, and support you to think about ways you can fundraise and get fellow students involved to support you.

Here's how to create a new society: 

Step 1: First of all, check there isn't an existing club or society undertaking the same activities or based on the same idea. We aren't very likely to have two groups doing the same thing, so if someone else is already doing what you're interested in, we'll connect you to join that society and get involved in making that one a success. 

 

Step 2: Get a group of UCB students together to sit down and discuss what the basic activities of your society are going to be. You need an absolute minimum of 2 people - just you and someone else - but we would encourage you to recruit as many students as is possible. The more students you have involved, the more membership money you can raise and the more funding we can give you to support you in your goals.

 

Step 3: Fill in this form and send it to hamza@ucbguild.co.uk or tom@ucbguild.co.uk Our staff member will contact you again so that we can discuss your idea!

 

Step 5: You're all set up! 

 

 

While you're getting up and running, here's what we'll be doing to support you: 

• We'll allocate you an Officer champion 
• Support you with completing any paperwork or processes 
• Provide you with training and development as a new society 
• Create you a webpage on the Guild website so that you can begin getting students to join your society 
• Provide you with admin permissions to edit your Guild webpage
• Add you to our mailing lists so that your up-to-date with all society information
