History

Labour Students has a long and proud history of victories both for our party and the student movement across decades of hard work and campaigning. 

This page is the start of a new project which seeks to document the impact of Labour Students, the success it has brought for Labour and the people who have been vital to its longevity. 

We'll keep you updated with this project as we progress. In the meantime we'd love to hear from you via email on [email protected] if you have any materials, documents or personal accounts that cover any period of Labour Students history.
