Please note: If you wish to find out more about a society check out their profile on our Societies and Clubs A-Z Directory page, we are working with societies to ongoingly add these and note that some of the societies named above have not return information yet to be added - if you want to link with a society but cannot find their details online yet on our new website please contact the Community and Societies Coordinator here: L.Rabemananjara@gsa.ac.uk for a contact email address for them. 

Societies, student groups and sports clubs are an amazing way to create community as part of your GSA experience beyond the limits of your academic interests and studies. They are places for creating friendships, community, ideas and projects, gaining and practicing new skills for life or future employment or putting those skills to the service of bigger things.  

All societies and groups are entirely student-led, and student organised, and grow out of student’s interests meaning a society’s existence can ebb and flow, or some societies can even last years. 

All societies are supported by the Students’ Association in countless ways including financially in their funding and also in developing their membership and deciding how they wish to organise and manage themselves as an autonomous group. 

They can be a group based around a common interest, a common identity, they can be a space of learning, a social space, they could form out of a campaign idea, a solution to a problem, address a specific concern in or beyond the curriculum, or they could even speak to students’ politcal interests locally and nationally. 

What are the benefits of setting up a society or student group at GSASA? 

• Access to up to £250 of funding per semester for items that support your societies’ activity – from pitch hire, to books, to t-shirts, whatever is needed! 
• Access to the Societies Committee a twice yearly meeting which is a collaborative space for connecting with other societies and student groups. 
• Specialist support through the Sabbatical Officers (student leaders elected by GSA students in the previous academic year).  
• Specialist support through the Community and Societies Coordinator – a paid member of staff to specifically support and develop societies. 

Want to set up a new society? Get support with wherever your idea is at! 

To explore setting up a new society contact the Community and Societies Coordinator, Leilani Rabemananjara, they are happy to help you regardless of wherever you’re at – you could have just the spark of an idea you’d like to explore or already have something fully-formed with a small group of like-minded students, societies can, and do, form out of both!
