Who are the new philanthropists? And how is their philanthropy
'new'? In this remarkable and inspiring book, the eminent
management writer Charles Handy and his wife Elizabeth, a portrait
photographer, have collaborated to portray a new generation of
practical philanthropists, men and women who have made their own
fortunes and decided to move on from financial success to try to
help those in need. They are doing so not simply by giving their
money away to charities and agencies but by helping actively,
working on the spot with the very people who need their aid,
ensuring that the initiatives are sustainable in the longer term.
As in their acclaimed The New Alchemists, the Handys have both
interviewed and photographed their subjects in order to tell their
inspiring stories; from the Sydney restaurateur Jeff Gambin, who
personally helps to cook hot and cold menus for homeless people; to
Niall Mellon, a young Irish property developer who is replacing the
shacks with breeze-block homes in a South African township; and
Sara Davenport, who sold her art gallery and set up the
breast-cancer care centre the Haven Trust to offer integrated and
holistic treatment and support. This striking book of words and
photographs reveals the energy and inspiration of these new ways of
using wealth, revealing the motivations and satisfactions of such
direct action.
