Funding with in dance and schools!

I've currently just started helping out in a theatre company for children with learning difficulties. I'm doing it voluntarily due to lake of funding.... Which I actually don't mind as it gains me experience.... BUT the people that teach them and have taught them for years have now given up there pay due to funding.... I think this is so upsetting to see people that are helping children develop mential and pysicaly are giving up there pay to put it to use were needed.... There must be more funding out there that can go to better use such as dance companys helping children with learning difficulties.
