LGBT Social

LGBT Social is York's only social society aimed at LGBT students and their friends. As one of the University's most active and popular societies, we have two big events per week. On Thursdays we do a range of events including quiz nights, cheese and wine events and subsidised bar crawls in Leeds, Newcastle and Manchester. On Sundays we stay in York and usually end in Toffs, York's only gay club night. We do a range of different bar crawls and themes before arriving.

Ladsoc

A support and networking society open to all, putting on sporting and social events throughout the year.

LINKS

LINKS is the student wing of St John Ambulance. LINKS exists for students in higher education to become involved or remain involved in St. John Ambulance. Volunteers have the opportunity to develop their First Aid and ambulance skills, and provide cover at public events like Marathon and events around campus such as Club D. However, not all our activities are First Aid orientated. We have regular socials including Laser Quest, Bowling and nights in town.

Latin American Society

If you want to know about or share traditions and culture, and enjoy delicious dishes from countries in Latin America, you should come and be part of the parties and handcraft workshops. You may even learn dancing Salsa and practice Spanish or Portuguese in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Don’t miss the traditional Posada Party and lots of fun!

Laserus

Looking for a more exciting life? Bored of your studies? Then join us for a game of laser tag! It is a fast paced and exciting sport with none of the pain of paintball or airsoft.

LoveSoc

LoveSoc acts to spread good feeling and happiness around our university trough encouraging its members to perform random acts of kindness involving mini missions (e.g give a flower to a stranger) or get involved with larger group missions. We're here to promise original eventsand socials that blow the generic bar crawl out of the water.

Labour Club

York Labour club believes in upholding the beliefs and values of the Labour Party. We regularly campaign for issues and campaigns on campus, in the local area and nationally. We are not afraid to disagree with the national party when the ideas that we discuss in the club are against government or party policy. We are affiliated to the National Labour party and the National organisation of Labour Students.

Liberal Democrats

The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity. If you want to find out who we are, what we do and why we do it, then feel free to get in touch!
