The Secret Millionaire, the award-winning and critically acclaimed documentary series about philanthropy is looking for people with the means to take part in a third hit series which will transmit in late 2008.
In each episode a different benefactor is given the opportunity to live ‘undercover’ in some of the country’s most deprived areas. They do not reveal their full identity, but immerse themselves in the community for ten days; meeting the local residents, making new friends, taking on jobs or doing voluntary work - all with a view to deciding who they believe is most in need of their support. At the end of their visit, these modern day philanthropists reveal their true identities to those they’d like to help and offer their time, their skills and their financial assistance to help make a positive change to people’s circumstances.
This programme offers philanthropists a rare opportunity to actually meet the people that directly benefit from their assistance. It also allows the benefactors to highlight and explore specific social issues that may be close to their heart.
You can also watch clips of the previous series on the Channel 4 website (http://www.channel4.com/). If you need further details, Anne Crowther has a factsheet and contact details.
