Description
The RIDE Society is a student-led community dedicated to fostering equity, diversity,
inclusion, and respect across Liverpool John Moores University. We act as a vital bridge between students and the university, ensuring your voice is heard and championed in shaping a welcoming, fair, and supportive environment for everyone. Through meaningful conversations, collaborative projects, and impactful initiatives, we strive to make LJMU a place where diversity is celebrated and opportunities are equitable.
About Us
At the heart of the RIDE Society is a commitment to creating an open, inclusive, and supportive space where all students feel valued and empowered. We understand the importance of connection and support, so we work proactively to link members with a wide range of resources, services, and networks both within LJMU and beyond. Our society plays a crucial role in university life by maintaining open channels of communication with staff and leadership, including participation on panels and contributing to collaborative initiatives aimed at improving the student experience. We see ourselves as the “middle person” — a trusted liaison that amplifies student voices to drive meaningful change in university policies and culture. Whether you are passionate about advocacy, eager to learn more about equity and inclusion, or simply want to be part of a community committed to respect and diversity, RIDE welcomes you.

As a growing society, we are actively expanding our reach and network — so every voice is important. Meeting details, dates, and venues will be shared in advance via our social media channels and university communications. We encourage all members to participate actively and bring their unique perspectives to the table.
