Getting the Word Out
I've written before about the Google.org free-advertising for charities - which is a great tool if you can afford the time and the wait whilst they process your application.

Step in Facebook Flyers - Starting @ US$5 you can cut out the printing shop not to mention standing in the rain as you try and hand out a couple of thousand flyers... Superb.
If you're on Facebook and from University of Essex, Writtle College, Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin and a few other nearby colleges and universities then watch out for the upcoming Wilderness Foundation pilot flyers - promoting an upcoming event and secondly the excellent Wilderness Training Course.
