Didn't you say you did something with Paignton Community College? Maybe they could put you in touch with someone at the council? With regards to web sites, if we could get funding for a hosting account (or maybe if someone who possibly has a co-located server could spare some bandwidth, web space and a database) we could maybe look at offering web sites either free or cheap? I'd like to get another OpenDevon site up and running although my web hosting provider don't provide MySQL databases on the package I'm on (although they give me 30GB's of bandwidth and 2GB space which I don't really use!).
