Yes, Dickens was absolutely a social reformer and his reformation work took several forms. He wrote about the ills he saw around him: poverty and prostitution, homelessness and orphans, corruption and venality in the government, including the courts system, etc. His incredible popularity forced these issues on society, when they would prefer continuing to look away (see Our Mutual Friend). He also joined with other philanthropists (like Angela Burdett-Coutts, one of the wealthiest women of the time) to establish half-way houses for prostitutes and soup kitchens for the homeless. He also sat on the boards of several non-profit organizations--and often was a founder of the organization--which benefited the causes he believed in.
