Synopsis

Spurred on by a cold call from a charity fundraiser, Seb Hunter decided to transform good intention into commitment and spend two years trying to improve himself by signing up for as different types of volunteering as possible. From falling out with fellow do-gooders at Oxfam (where he sold Vanessa Feltz's old clothes to local transvestites) to battling bureaucracy on behalf of a Congolese asylum seeker; from hospital radio to litter picking; and from working at a homeless drop-in centre to campaigning to avert climate change, he sheds blood, sweat and tears in the name of Good Causes. But can working for no financial reward really make you a 'better person'? How to Be a Better Person is a hilarious antidote to pessimism, as uplifting as it is wildly entertaining. It's a call to arms! Oh no it's not! Well, it is, sort of...
