The Autumn Budget is happening on 28th October, and we have a real chance to win meaningful change to student loans.

Join us from 10am-3pm on 8th October to plan how we can maximise our impact in the last few weeks before the budget.

Here's what you can expect:

• The day is mainly about planning what we do next; whether that’s a stunt outside Parliament or a postcard campaign (or both!), we need to coordinate our next move and, together, plan how we win on student loans.
• Media Training: we need to be making sure we’re keeping this story on the front pages, so we’re going to be training sabbs on how to best talk to the press and make the most out of our press opportunities!
• Space for ideas, and turning them into reality. Do you have ideas of how we can win on loans? Who we need to be reaching and how we can get the message out? We’ll have space to learn what has been happening on campuses across England, and to turn ideas into actions over the next few weeks. 

Together, we can unfreeze the repayment threshold, and begin the reshaping of the student finance system.
