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.

The programme will be premiered on the Community Channel on Friday 15 Decemeber 
at 20.00, and repeated on Sunday 17 December at 18.00.
