[Capital One](https://www.capitalone.co.uk/) has teamed up with Nottingham-based
radio-station Trent FM on a fundraising campaign for disability charity Scope, that
will put DJs to the test.

The campaign, called ‘Dare the DJ’, will see radio presenters from the station undertake
a series of challenging dares over the course of a week, such as training on ice
with the Nottingham Panthers, busking in Nottingham city or sitting a SATS (Standard
Assessment Tests).

The DJs who will be challenged are Twiggy, Mark Dennison, Emma Caldwell and James
Cook.

Listeners have the chance to vote for the DJ they most want to see step up to the
challenge by visiting www.trentfm.co.uk and clicking on the [relevant JustGiving links ](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/03/16/justgiving-hmrc-agreement-restoring-lost-gift-aid-family-donations/)
to make a donation to Scope.

The money raised will help Scope provide vital services for people with cerebral
palsy and support its Time to Get Equal campaign – which fights for equality for
all disabled people.

Justin Basini, Vice-President Brand Marketing at Capital One said: “We’re really
proud of the partnership we’ve built with Scope over the last five years which has
helped us to create an increasingly accessible and diverse work environment at our
Nottingham headquarters. We’re thrilled that Trent FM is leading a terrific campaign
to generate greater awareness about the important work Scope does.”

Emilia Carman, Corporate Manager of Scope Partnerships adds: “This is an exciting
campaign. Not only does it raise awareness of Scope’s mission to support disabled
people to achieve equality and raise vital funds, but it will also give Trent FM
listeners a chance to see their favourite DJ test their mettle. And it might help
us dispel the myth that DJs are all talk and no action!”
