Thank you. It shouldn't be any direct costs to teachers. The lessons might need to be supervised by a teacher, which would be an hour of their time once a week. As for volunteers, one hour once a week, plus travel, plus time to prepare (this will vary from person to person). We need to raise £5000 pounds before we can register as a charity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charitable_organization#Charity...

Thanks for your reply. It sounds perfectly reasonable in terms of committment.

A further though is that if arts/crafts/sports-type workshop runners are charging around £200 a day for their work in schools, you could potentially tap into this portion of school budgets to earn the £5000 required or set up as a limited company with a social purpose. I suppose you've made plans on the costs front, and that fund raising for £5k a year is perhaps very manageable.

If not, you could set up on a UK-based Kickstarter-type site and I, for one, would be happy to contribute and potentially volunteer for our local school.
