Yes it is the hard truth, when you are raising fund for your own purpose, unless I want to go through setting up my own trust for this. Looking at how things work here, I won't have my hope too high.
This is what Vicky has wrote to me today.

Hi Ulu Gange,
Thanks for your email. We have placements available in March or May or July in 2009 so you can certainly swap to one of these if you would like to – please let me know which time suits you best and I’ll make the arrangements here (there will be a £15 administration fee).
With regards to fundraising – we are not a charity and so you won’t be able to get corporate sponsorship in that way unless you are able to somehow set up a trust fund yourself, although I am not sure how/whether that would work. I’m afraid that you cannot direct the money through Sepilok appeal as they are not affiliated with us in that way. Corporate donations unfortunately have these restrictions so the best thing to do would perhaps try to raise funds through alternative means (sponsored events with friends and family etc).
Best of luck and sorry I can’t be of more help.
With kind regards
Vicky
