Funding for a school allotment

I apologise if this is not the correct place to post .
I run a gardening club at my school and we are wanting to expand it into an allotment. However, we need fencing around the allotment before we can start our project and this is going to cost us around £5000. The school cannot afford this and therefore we need to look at funding. I would be grateful if anyone has any experience of funding a garden and if so where they got the funding as we are struggling. 

Many thanks for any replies.

National lottery,funding for all,enlist the backing of your local councillor and mp.

Find out if there is a health project underway in your area - we have Food Futures in manchester, google it to get an idea - and see if you can tap into it - or if not, contact your local health trust and offer them a chance to start something like it... more money than beleagured Councils!

£5000 seems a lot to spend on a fence. Is it a huge area? What are you trying to keep out? Cannot your Parent Teachers Association find materials and volunteers to put it up?

Will the dads not make you a pallet fence like everyone on our site has. the only plot with a posh fence near us keeps getting wrecked by yobs, it belongs to a day centre for people with mental health problems so they probably got funding from somewhere. the children would be devastated if it was a target for vandalism.
