Volunteering, Manchester Airport

Hi, first post but hope you can help me.
I'm 17 and applied for the GAPAN ppl scholarship this year, got down to the last 50. I think my application was missing aviation-related material in terms of what I've done, which made me think that volunteering somewhere for a few days over the summer would be a good thing to do.
I live minutes from Manchester Airport and a 20 min drive from Barton, and am trying to find out if there's anywhere I could try (at Manchester in particular). Can anyone think of a good place, eg a flying school which might let me get some work experience there, on a casual or otherwise basis?
I've already emailed LAC at Barton but they said they don't take work experience seekers on, as there's not much for them to do.
I suppose even something like hanging around in the tower would be ok.
Thanks for your help, please give me your thoughts
