About

Find out more about our organisation through the tabs below.

If there is anything you’re still not sure about, feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to help!

Who are we?

We’re the youth and student wing of the Liberal Democrats. That means we represent the interests of all members aged 26 and under plus everyone registered as a student.

We campaign, train members, run events, recruit new members and develop policy, amongst other things!

If you are a member of the Liberal Democrats and are either aged 26 or below or your’re older but are registered as a student, you are automatically a member of Liberal Youth too! 

What do we do?

  • We run campaigns on issues affecting our peers and issues we believe are being ignored by the wider political community, and sometimes even the Liberal Democrat party itself.
  • We run campaigning events such as protests and action days. We run our own conferences, where policy is debated and voted on by members, and the executive is elected in an all-member ballot every year.
  • We run training events such as Activate, to give our members the skills and confidence they need to go out campaigning in their local area.
  • We produce a monthly e-newsletter, ‘Yell’ for our members and activists. Keeping them informed about the national executive’s activities and opportunities for them to get involved.
  • We do what our members want us to do and provide a platform for our generation to be heard both within and outside of the Liberal Democrats.
  • Our current policy book: Liberal Youth Policy Register Oct 2011
