If your doing this through your club why not get intouch with some youth workers in your area, I looked at this a couple of years back and I think you will find that there is funding for kids doing sports.

No ,,,,,,,, Roy, KCC will pay for more than the normal expenses ,,,,

Do you remember / was you in the club when I approached McDonalds for funding for yachtmaster tickets for ' Admiral Douglas ' ?

Clubs can apply for Lottery funding to purchase new equipment for kids and other disadvantaged people to encourage integration so it might be worth applying to them.

I just thought it might it be a way of giving somthing back to my area what do you all think.

I think its a brilliant concept. You could expand the idea to helping young offenders, who could be 'fast-tracked' from brief 10 minute lecture/video presentation to deep air cave/sump exploration in Lithuania.

Aquanauts does this kind of thing with local naughty kids - it seems to work quite well. It's organised through the police, who also come along and learn to dive.

I have now talked to the Diving officer who was possitive about doing this. He did say that some of the kids might & will turn up with lots of shinny kit .
