Have a look at the BBSRC and MRC research council websites - they would be a good source. I had BBSRC funding, but mine was allocated like this: the department was awarded 2 studentships, i had been accepted by my supervisor (given that i could get the money) and so I went for the interview for the studentship held by the department, and fortunately, got the studentship. Some PhD proposals will already have money from the BBSRC or MRC attached, I think those will probably be listed on the website. Alternatively, contact some potential supervisors because they might already have money allocated to a project.
