**Scope is launching a Facebook application (or ‘app’) with help from BT to encourage
Facebook users to show their support and help fundraise for the disability charity.**

Users can now add the iDonate application, developed by BT agilemedia, to their 
Facebook page and make a small donation to Scope. They will then have a special 
Scope badge displayed on their profile page. The badge can also be sent to friends
as a gift to show their support for the charity and encourage others to add the 
application.

All donations are collected securely by BT Buynet, BT’s own Payment Service Provider.
There is a suggested minimum donation of £1.50.

The badge remains on a user’s profile for one month when it can be renewed with 
a further donation if the user wants to make an ongoing commitment to the charity.
As such it is one of the first Facebook apps to move from encouraging one-off gifts
to regular or at least repeat donations.

BT’s partnership with [Scope](http://www.scope.org.uk) includes support for the ‘
No Voice, No Choice’ initiative, which campaigns for a legal right to communication
aids. BT is also financing the Wheeltop Project, which will help develop bespoke
communication devices for young disabled people with communication impairments.
