Does your school qualify for Funding?

Every year millions of pounds are made available to UK schools in the form of grants, funding and free equipment and every year schools miss out because they don't know where to look, don't have time to do the necessary research, or lack the specialist knowledge that would enable them to write competitive applications. Pebble (School Fund Finder) is a web service that allows users to search for available grants, funding and free items from one easy to use website www.talktopebble.co.uk
