The Conservative Party outlined plans to reform benefits and create a new role for charities at its conference in Bournemouth this week.
Party leader Iain Duncan Smith announced that the party would give charities the ability to tender for social services work, such as running drug rehab units and domestic violence shelters.

The voluntary sector should be “given access to a wider variety of projects funded and executed by arms of government,” he said.

The party also promised a Lifetime Savings Account that would receive government contributions matched against savings.
