You could try the air league for help doing your PPL.
I had a couple of students who over the space of 3 years got there PPL and IMC payed for by the league.
Strange thing is they have budget left over at the end of the year due to the number of students who don't take the offer up and learn to fly.
Another method is to practise bull****ting and join the Air training corps. They won't take you if they think your only in it for the flying, you have to be able to kid them that you really want to become a RAF officer. This suggestion will get quiet a few backs up but it is an option.
