There are a couple of possibilities that spring to mind, but it may be that neither are suitable. The Sutton Trust support widening participation, and I know they do (or have) supported a lot of Summer Schools, but I think they are now focused far more on research and policy work than the kind of project you are talking about. http://www.suttontrust.com/projects.asp The Esmee Fairbain Foundation support lots of educational projects, but they also have quite strict funding criteria and (my understanding is) it must be innovative and expected to make a big difference. http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/funding/index.html I'm assuming the sums involved are relatively small, have you tried local businesses or Rotary clubs?
