Getting your society started
Join and verify
Create your Founder Quarter account and verify it with your college email. Only verified members can register a society.
Register the society
Self-service registration isn't open yet. Contact us and the team will set your society up with you.
Confirm it's really your society
Enter the code we send to the society's official inbox, or ask your Students' Union to confirm through the link we email them.
Accept the agreements
The chair accepts the Society Terms and the Joint-Controller Arrangement, which set out how you and Founder Quarter look after members' data. Then the team reviews the society and makes its page public.
Make the page yours
Add a tagline, what you do, your links and, if you want, your WhatsApp group (visible to followers only, if you prefer). Upload your logo only if you have permission to use it.
Bring in your committee
From the Committee tab, invite each committee member with their role: secretary, treasurer, events, comms or committee member. Each role opens only the tools it needs.
Run your first event
Events → New event. Publish it when the details are confirmed, then use the promotion kit: the QR code, ready-made WhatsApp, Instagram and LinkedIn text and the share image. At the door, check people in by scanning their ticket.
Keep members in the loop
Post updates for followers or members. You can email an update to the people who allow it; there's a weekly limit, and the team may review emails first.
Hand over at the end of the year
Invite next year's committee, write notes for them, and start the new academic year from the Committee tab. The society keeps its events, followers, contacts and history.
