At the end of 2011 youth unemployment hit 1million and Britain's young people are again at risk of being haunted by the prospect of becoming a lost generation. For Young Fabians this prospect must spur us to think and to act. That's why this year, we will be launching, a Young Fabians Jobs Plan. Between now and Labour's Annual Conference, we will be going up and down the country looking at projects to get young people into work, lessons we can learn from the past and projects we can put in place now to prevent the prospect of a lost generation.

Young Fabians Health Network Launch in partnership with UCLU Labour society & UCLU GP and Public Health Medical Society

Come and join the Young Fabians as we launch our newly formed Health Network.

Maureen Donnelly, Chair of Cambridgeshire Primary Care Trust and Fabian Society member, will speak to us about NHS reform, followed by a question and answer session.

This event will be the start of our 2012 health and social care event series.  We look forward to seeing you there. To confirm your attendance, please register here.

Write for the next Anticipations
Sunday, 12 February 2012

The Anticipations Member Commissioning Team are now looking for short pitches of no more than 150 words for the next edition of Anticipations.
 
The next edition will be looking at the foundations of our democracy, what they mean to young people, and how to protect and advance them in difficult times. We are very keen to feature pieces on any aspect of this theme - including topical subjects such as the monarchy, the Scottish referendum and the impact of the Qatada case on the rule of law - and to ask how the economc crisis impacts on these issues: does it diminish or strengthen their importance?
 
As always, however, we're looking for interesting perspectives on a range of topics, so members should feel free to go radically off-theme. We're also after contributions for our regular My Day Job and Why I'm Labour features, so we hope to hear from as many of you as possible. Pitches should be emailed to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it by 5pm on Friday 17th February. Articles will then be needed by Friday 2nd March.
 
Finally, don't forget to send your thoughts on the last, especially via our new Twitter account, @AnticsEditors.
