Tinker with remit society values (6)
I believe the answer is:
merits
'values' is the definition.
(merit can mean a good quality or value)
'tinker with remit society' is the wordplay.
'tinker with' is an anagram indicator (letters tinkered or fiddled with).
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'remit' with letters rearranged gives 'merit'.
'merit'+'s'='MERITS'
(Other definitions for merits that I've seen before include "Deserves, is worthy of" , "Deserves or warrants" , "Legally right or wrong" , "Deserves to be praised" , "Virtues of timers" .)
