Labour Students - London
Our History:
The National Organisation of Labour Students was founded in 1971 and became Labour Students in 1992. In 2004, Labour Students worked hard in an attempt to defeat the introduction of "top-up" fees for university students. Since then, the organisation has lobbied for increased maintenance grants, targeted at the poorest students. This is opposed by various far-left groups, but at NUS Conference in 2006, delegates supported our fairer policy, turning away from a historic attachment to full grants for all students.
In recent years, Labour Students has lobbied on issues directly, complimenting its work in NUS. 2005 saw our "Sex, Lives & Politics" campaign, which successfully called on the Treasury to remove the luxury rate of VAT on condoms. 2006 was the year of our "Make Child Poverty History" priority campaign, which fought to extend child benefit to pregnant mothers.
We aim to provide meetings bi-weekly and have events at the university but also provide attendance at regional and national conferences. We will also be openly activist for our causes and campaign for MP's.
We hope you join to at least show your interest.
