Reform Political Advertising is a not for profit politically neutral campaign run by unpaid volunteers.
You can read about the significant progress of our campaign and donate here. We’ve done all of this on a shoestring and by relying on unpaid volunteers. However, the reality is that ahead of the Elections Bill we really need your help to achieve our campaign goal of making electoral advertising regulation a reality.
Please donate to our campaign if you feel as passionately as we do about the need for electoral ad regulation.
