About this listen
Do you wish you could do more to change the world but don't know how? 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 feel even more disconnected from the very issues that keep us awake at night, Giving Back highlights those people and movements taking on some of the most challenging social issues of our time.
A respected figure in philanthropy and the charity sector, Derek A. Bardowell presents a unique insight into what's going on inside the world of giving and where best we can make a difference.
From the decolonisation of philanthropy to redefining the purpose of charity itself, Bardowell introduces a radical new take on how social issues, from climate change to serious youth violence, can be tackled in modern society by all of us.
Filled with lively insights and moving stories, Giving Back is here to break down the walls of charitable giving. If you loved Factfulness, Lost Connections and What White People Can Do Next, this book will challenge some of your truths and change the way you give.

"Personal, political, powerful." (Bernardine Evaristo)
"Bardowell does an excellent and passionate job of refracting the issues." (Financial Times)
