Visit your Student Union to pick up any relevant information they have on setting up a new society. Each university will have set guidelines and criteria to follow. This may include advice on how to set up a constitution for the society, finance information, how the society will function, copyright information for any proposed websites and so forth. |
Where possible, try and get your BPS Student Representative(s) involved in running your Psychological Society. Student Representatives keep in regular contact with the SMG Members Liaison Officer, ensuring that information on BPS Events is passed on to your Psychological Society and vice versa. |

If there isn’t already a similar society running check to see if there is another group of people trying to do the same thing? If so, why not join forces? |
Speak to your lecturers and staff at your university to see if they would be willing to offer any support for the society and to make them aware of what is taking place. |

Try contacting some universities who already have a Psychological Society and see what advice they can offer, what sort of events and socials they run - a list of universities who currently have a Psychological Society can be found on the SMG website. |
Check to make sure that there isn’t already a similar society running at your university - i.e. is there already a broader society running that incorporates large elements of what you want to do?
