USDAW, the shopworkers union, gives grants to its members once they have completed Open University courses. The article is here:

65 quid for a 30 point course, and 130 quid for a 60 point course. This is about a third of the cost of the course, and certainly pays for your union fees!
If you are not with USDAW, check to see if your union does anything similar.
Hope this helps someone.
