Please sign this petition if you want to see an LSE Summer Ball in June 2023

In June 2020, a climatic Summer Ball for the whole of the LSE Student Body was set to happen.


In 2017, a group of LSE students started a campaign to launch an end-of-year Summer Ball at the LSE.

Similar styled events are seen all over the U.K. They include food, drinks and a wide range of entertainment. 

Currently, the LSE has lots of smaller flagship events for departments and societies. However, the LSE, nor the LSESU have ever facilitated such an event for the whole of the student body.

Therefore, a group of students have joined to lobby both the LSE and LSESU to facilitate and subsidise an end-of-year summer ball. The overarching aim of the event is to be accessible, attractive, and unforgettable for the whole of the LSE student body.

Previous efforts from the campaign include:

• 
2018 - over 1,000 students signed the original petition, an LSESU Union Motion was passed
• 
2019 - a production company was called in to transform the LSE campus, permission was granted by the Westminster council to host the event
• 
2020 - The inaugural LSE Summer Ball was set to take place, June 2020, hosting 1,000 people on the LSE campus.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the LSE Summer Ball was postponed.

Since the Covid restrictions have begun to lift, there has been no talk of re-launching this event. In addition, certain LSE/SU and Sabbatical officers have said that they think there is no longer demand for such an event as the previous petitions have been signed by students who have now graduated.

A new group of students are re-starting the LSE Summer Ball campaign to ensure that each year at the LSE finishes with a celebration, like almost all other universities in the U.K.

If you want to see an LSE Summer Ball in 2023, please sign and share this petition.

*As part of the campaign, we want to extend the invite to all students who campaigned for the summer ball and who missed out due to COVID*
