On Friday 15 December, The Community Channel will air “The Generous Gene”, a new programme that examines the emergence of a new breed of super rich who “are changing the culture of giving in Britain”.

The programme focuses on young philanthropists who are using their entrepreneurial skills “to provide increasingly ingenious ways to give” and !finding pleasure in using their money to create social change”.

The programme includes an interview with Charles Handy, who has recently published a book on the new philanthropists.
