Do you ever look around at the many charities asking for donations and feel overwhelmed? This inspiring and uplifting book explores the effectiveness of charity and calls for more radical giving if we want to contribute to a better world. During a period when British society seems more divided than ever, and our decision makers are even more disconnected from the issues that keep us awake at night, Giving Back highlights the people and movements taking on some of the most challenging social issues of our time. A respected figure in philanthropy, Derek A. Bardowell presents a unique insight into what's going on inside the world of giving and where we can best make a difference. From redefining the role of charity itself to reimagining philanthropy through a reparative lens, Bardowell introduces a radical new take on how social problems, from climate change to racial injustice, can be tackled in modern society by all of us. 'The book you didn't realise you wanted but desperately need!' Marcus Ryder 'A valuable act of remembrance ... While wealth may confer privileges, it doesn't rid you of melanin or exempt you from prejudice.' Colin Grant, Guardian Vorwort Giving Back is an intimate portrait of the real world of the charity sector with radical visions of how Britain could be greater Zusammenfassung Giving Back is an intimate portrait of the real world of the charity sector with radical visions of how Britain could be greater
