Society affiliation is now closed until Monday 6th October 2025.
If none of our societies currently appeal to you, we encourage you to set up a new one – it couldn’t be easier!
Please email studentopps@chester.ac.uk if you wish to know more about societies or setting a new one up.
Why set up a new group?
- It’s a great way to meet new friends and socialise with people who share your interests
- It’s also a great way to maximise your University experience and have fun!
- The group can consume as much or as little of your leisure time as you desire – make it your own
- You have the potential to develop an established group and leave a legacy by getting involved in community initiatives, fundraising for local charities, running events and competitions at the University… the list is endless!
- Being a leading role in a club or society is a fantastic way to develop your own personal skills and enhance your CV ready for when you leave University
What are the benefits of setting up a new society?
There are many benefits for you and your group once affiliated with CSU:
- Your own page on the CSU website
- Access to rooms and spaces on campus
- Help and guidance on how to promote your group
- Managed bank accounts within the Students’ Union
- Insurance for your society’s activities
- Access to personal development and group development training
- Opportunities for financial support for your group through the SU’s funding streams for societies
