Today there isn't all that much difference
between banks and building societies. If your building society
sends you monthly statements of account just like a bank then
please take a look at the bank statement
section.
A traditional building society, where you
have a savings account that pays interest will usually send you
a statement only once a year. This will show your account balance
including any interest earned in the last year.
With this type of account you will usually
have a paying-in book and no way of taking money out of your account
other than by over the counter cash withdrawals.

a building society interest statement.

If there are debits shown on your account
which are not cash withdrawals then these may be direct
debits or standing orders
you have set up. Check these to make sure they are the right amount.
