Charities evolved from timid service providers to major campaigning forces in the late twentieth century, driven by internal factors and external socio-political environment. Ian Bruce's book explores this transformation, offering insights into the rise of beneficiary power, the shift from welfare to rights, the medical to social model of disability, and the adoption of social welfare and business professionalisms.

Charities have undergone a remarkable transformation in the late twentieth century, evolving from timid service deliverers to formidable providers with a strong campaigning voice. This transformation has been driven by various factors, and in this captivating history, examined through the lens of RNIB from 1970 to 2010, Ian Bruce delves into the internal drivers and external socio-political environment that facilitated and encouraged this explosive growth.
Bruce, with his extensive experience as the leader of a charity at the forefront of this change and his involvement in the charity sector for fifty years as both an activist and an academic, possesses an unparalleled understanding of what transpired and why. His firsthand knowledge will resonate with charity workers and scholars alike, covering themes such as the rise of beneficiary power against patronizing providers, the transition from welfare to rights, the shift from a medical to a social model of disability, and the adoption of social welfare and business professionalisms such as strategic planning and charity marketing.
Today's charities can greatly benefit from learning from the successes and mistakes of this dynamic period. By embracing the power of beneficiaries, advocating for their rights, shifting towards a social model of disability, and adopting professional practices, charities can continue to make a meaningful impact and drive positive change in society.
