For over a century, the Cambridge University Labour Club (CULC) has been one of the largest and most active political societies at Cambridge. Mirroring the evolution of the national party, CULC has gone through many shapes and sizes, and many Labour politicians cut their teeth in politics while students here at Cambridge - from Hugh Dalton to Andy Burnham. CULC has a long and proud history of campaigning both in the town of Cambridge and in the university among students. In addition to campaigning for local Labour candidates, we have campaigned on a broad set of issues that matter to students and working people - including marches against £9,000 tuition fees and to save the Cambridge bursary as well as protests against cuts to EMA and essential public services. In addition, CULC offers some of the very best speaker events, socials, dinners, debates, and women's and LGBT events in the universities. Every term we welcome Lords, MPs, MEPs, and academics to speak to the club about the big political issues of our day. We have also taken trips to Parliament, 10 Downing Street, and Labour Students events. CULC was the first university Labour Club in Britain to officially affiliate with the Co-Operative Party.
