The Student Radio Association's South stations (Nerve Radio, Surge & PURE FM) are raising £800 in aid of Sophie’s Legacy, Simon Says, Journey of a Lifetime Trust and Teenage Cancer Trust.

The 'Round the Clock Radio Challenge' is a 24-hour charity stream, created by Joshua Dodd in 2022 as a part of his South Regional Officer role in the Student Radio Association. The first challenge was hosted at PURE FM in Portsmouth, and the second at Nerve Radio in Bournemouth. Both events have jointly raised over £1400 for charity and have become an annual tradition for the region. The challenge has collected 5 national awards and raised the profile for Student Stations in the South of England.

This year’s broadcast, which will be hosted again at the Nerve Radio studio on Bournemouth University’s Talbot Campus, will begin at 12 noon on 28 June 2025. The stream will feature a colourful selection of shows from talented presenters, with a pub quiz, interviews and a DJ set too. You can listen via Nerve Radio’s online Player. All donations will be split equally to Sophie’s Legacy, Simon Says, Journey of a Lifetime Trust and Teenage Cancer Trust.
