Hull University Labour Club (HULC) is a Hull University Union society for University of Hull students who support the Labour Party. It is one of the oldest societies at Hull, first formed as the Hull College Labour Society from 1952–1958, the Hull University Socialist Society from 1958–1967, and the Hull University Labour Club from September 1967.
Influential in the earlier stages of the National Association of Labour Students Organisations (NALSO) in the 1950s, it has also had a role in the National Union of Students, Labour Students and Young Labour movements since their individual formations. Most notable was their large involvement in local and national campaigning in the 1960s and the 2015 general election. Their influence has waned in recent years but is starting to experience a renewal.
Membership levels took a significant decline in the period between 2010 and 2015 but have since started to increase since 2016.
