Reform
are a free market think tank who promote privatisation of public services. They
have charitable status despite being heavily linked to the Conservative party,
which is denied by the Charity Commission who recently chose to refuse to
investigate the connections and denied they existed.
Social Investigations is producing a series of
articles which looks at the corporations who fund Reform through a corporate
partnership that exists because according to Reform:
'We are keen
to involve corporate organisations in our research because their expertise is
often left out of the Whitehall
policy discussion.’
Dictionary
definition of a charity: ‘An organisation set up to
provide help and raise money for those in need’.
