Preparations are continuing apace for the TUC's national demonstration against government cuts, which aims to be the biggest trade union mobilisation in a generation.
As part of the build up to the 26 March event, the TUC, NUS and UCU are holding a rally to highlight the impact of the cuts on young people, especially the abolition of Education Maintenance Allowances and the increase in university tuition fees. This will take place in Manchester on 29 January.
Continuing the theme of building a coalition against the cuts, a conference is being held at Congress House on 8 February with the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action. This will look at the impact of spending cuts and public service reform on civil society organisations and the communities they serve.
