After Adoption, Kith and Kids, and Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust are the three charities
that will benefit from the final series of Channel 4’s Big Brother, which starts
later this week.

The charities will receive donations from funds raised by the programme’s public
telephone votes in which viewers vote on whom they wish to remain in the house. 
From each call, 15p will be donated to charity, with the funds raised divided equally
between the three beneficiary organisations.

In addition to the donations, the charities will be able to profile their work on
the [Big Brother website](http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother).

Lynn Charlton, Chief Executive of After Adoption, said: “To have been chosen as 
one of the beneficiary charities for the final series of Big Brother is a fantastic
opportunity for us. Not only will this provide a source of much needed funding, 
but it also offers a platform to build greater awareness of our services, potentially
enabling thousands more people affected by adoption to access the professional support,
information and advice they are looking for.”
