Recognising that some funding is always likely to be required, especially in less affluent areas, it is important to look towards longer term funding solutions:

• Effectively targeting support to pupils who need it.
• Providing the best means possible to encourage parents to pay….by raising the profile of the school visit and providing a system to spread the payment of the visit through the year.
• Providing ideas and for gaining support from local businesses

The Countrywide UK Trust has a good deal of experience in finding long term funding support.
