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.
