This Year's Charities

This year, the cost of voting during Big Brother 8 has been halved, and Channel 4 claims that they will make no money from the calls made by fans in the run-up to the weekly evictions.

The following three charities, however, will benefit financially:

Crisis - the national charity for single homeless people, working all-year-round to help vulnerable and marginalised people get through the crisis of homelessness, fulfil their potential and transform their lives.

Help the Hospices - the national charity for the hospice movement. The charity supports local hospices in their vital work on the frontline of caring for people facing the end of their life and those who love them.

Samaritans - which provides confidential, non-judgemental, emotional support 24-hours-a-day for people experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which could lead to suicide.

10p/10c from each vote registered will go to the above charities, split equally between them when the series ends. So, it's good to know that by getting involved in the voting and making a call or two, you won't be lining Channel 4's pockets but helping a charity instead.
