Goto the library and ask for the book of grant making trusts (this is what I did) and it lists thousands of organisations which have money available like the Rotary Round Table etc which have money available for trips!

Hi

I have been looking at doing a similar thing when I eventually can! I have found a cool website that does loads of community and conservation work!

Good luck
