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 his 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 new take on how social problems, from climate
change to racial injustice, 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](https://fundraising.co.uk/books/factfulness-ten-reasons-wrong-world/),
Lost Connections,_ and _What White People Can Do Next,_ this book will challenge
some of your truths and change the way you give.
