The Young Fabians are affiliated to the Labour party and have a membership of more than 1,000, made up of parliamentary researchers, academics, young professionals and political activists. All of the young MPs selected at the 1997 and 2001 elections were Young Fabians and Young Fabians provided volunteers for both Tony Blair's leadership campaign in 1994 and the new clause IV campaign in 1995.
As well as publishing pamphlets, the Young Fabians produce a quarterly magazine, Anticipations, and organise regular political events, conferences, residential summer schools and social events including the highly popular annual boat party. The Young Fabians seek to encourage debate and political education amongst members and within the wider Labour movement.
