A few minutes after sending this, someone on IRC pasted this :

I will contact the chap and see if I can help him in any way. Meanwhile, 
if you guys have anything else to mention, I'd love to hear it.

Hi guys

Am curious to know if you know of, or are already involved in, any
volunteer based work involving the education and raising awareness of
Linux to kids in the Derby area?

I've used Linux domestically and in some limited professional capacities
for 6 years now and would quite like the opportunity to show\demonstrate
Linux to make kids aware of the alternatives.

I read about a chap in the US, for example, who used 6 old recycled PC's
to setup a small Linux IT system in a local Church that the community
uses. That kind of thing I am interested in.

I have posted a thread on the subject here
