The Strategy Unit has at long last published its report entitled “Private Action,
Public Benefit”.
The report calls for the replacement of the 400-year-old definition
of charity, new types of company for charities and social enterprises, better information
from charities for the public, and the modernisation of the role of the Charity 
Commission.

The full report can be viewed online, together with its annexes, and a series of
background papers published alongside the report, one of which addresses the regulation
of fundraising.
