Description

Lancaster University Conservative Society (LUCS), is the largest and most active political society on campus and Lancaster's leading platform for conservative thought. Whether you're a big-C or small-c Conservative, LUCS is the society for you!

 

Our mission is to provide conservative students with a platform to connect with like-minded peers and promote the values of conservatism across campus. LUCS has something for everyone, whether you're interested in the social scene, debates, campaigning, standing in local elections, or networking with MPs, Lords, and influential figures in Politics.

 

Weekly Meetings 

Every Wednesday during term time at 6pm in Elizabeth Livingston Lecture Theatre (Bowland North), we host intellectually stimulating debates on a wide range of political issues. LUCS prides itself on being a broad-church society, welcoming members from across the political right. We encourage everyone to share their views, ask questions, and engage in open dialogue.

 

Events

As a political society, LUCS frequently represents the conservative cause at wider campus events. Joining LUCS will give you the chance to represent us at:

• The Prestigious Lancaster Debate Union
• Tipsy Question Time (a parody of BBC question time)
• Cross Party Football
• Cross Party Quiz

We also organise and support a range of member-focused events, including:

• Guest Speakers
• Formal Dinners
• Port and Policy
• Conservative Party Annual Conference
• And much more!

 

Socials

As well as being a political society, LUCS is also an active social scene with socials every week! Our socials are incredibly diverse, so there’s something for everyone.

Recent socials have included:

• Our inaugural bar crawl (in honour of William Hague)
• Port and Policy
• Themed nights out
• Secret Santa
• Games night
• Historical roleplaying
• Pub quizzes
• Karaoke (‘Tory-oke’!)
• Film night
• Tory Tandoori
• Bar sports evening

What’s more, after our weekly meetings, members often head to County Bar for a pint. Most weeks, this usually leads to a night out at the Sugarhouse too!

 

Activism 

LUCS is also a campaigning organisation, and we actively encourage our members to get involved in grassroots activism and fundraising. We've previously partnered with the Conservative party, mental health charities, and the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

Campaigning training is available for members who want to get involved but aren't confident. 

Moreover, our members have regularly stood in local elections across the country and in Lancaster.
