Reform is a British think tank based in London, whose declared mission is to set out a better way to deliver public services and economic prosperity. Reform describes itself as independent and non-partisan with an aim "to produce research of outstanding quality on the core issues of the economy, health, education and law and order and on the right balance between government and individual."
The Reform Research Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee founded in 2001 by Nick Herbert (now a Conservative MP) and Andrew Haldenby. The organisation, a London Living Wage employer, had an income of £1.3m in 2013 and was awarded a Transparency Rating of C on the whofundsyou.org website. Writing in The Guardian in September 2011, George Monbiot praised Reform for its transparency:
“The only rightwing think tank that did well was Reform, which sent me a list of its biggest corporate donors. Reform lists its other corporate sponsors in its annual review (14), and earns 4 points. If they can do it, why can’t the others?”
As well as publishing its own research, Reform also publishes papers by external authors. According to its website, recent authors have included Norman Warner, the Labour Peer and former Health Minister; Paul Corrigan, health adviser to Prime Minister Tony Blair; the Rt Hon Vince Cable MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills; Jeremy Browne MP, the former Liberal Democrat Minister at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Home Office; and Stephen Greenhalgh, (Conservative) Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime in London.
