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.
