The Centre for Reform is a public policy think tank concerned with the values of the Liberal Democrats, also accessible to any person interested in debating social, economic and political reform.

The Centre serves two primary functions: one, to provide an arena for Liberal Democrats to participate in discussion outside the constraints of the formal policy - making structures; two, to introduce ideas from outside the party into Liberal Democrat debates and discussions. The Centre for Reform was created at the Southport Federal Conference in March 1998 and announced its first programme of activities in June 1998. Its structure consists of a full-time Directer, supported by part-time administrative and research support.

Collection consists of two boxes of records containing separate folders of papers, press cuttings, newsletters, press releases, publicity leaflets, press packs and management committee minutes and agendas. The minutes and agendas are held in chronological order.

Mainly open; some items closed.
