Happenstance is a well regarded poetry pamphlet press and they are running a mentoring scheme this year. They are working with Writers Forum Magazine (Not my favourite magazine. It's a bit samey every month after a while and aimed squarely at hobby-ist writers)
Monthly competition details here
Entry fee is £5 for the first poem, £3 for subsequent poems in the same entry.
Online or by post.
And then for the mentoring scheme, Happenstance say
All contenders will be drawn from the winning entrants and runners-up in the Writers’ Forum monthly poetry competition, from issues 111 to issues 122 inclusive.
Poetry competition winners and runners-up from these issues will be invited to submit a further five poems, and each will receive feedback from Writers' Forum Poetry Editor Sarah Willans on their six-poem group (including their winning poem), with a view to progressing towards publication.
From these winners, HappenStance editor Helena Nelson will choose four. They will be mentored towards the production of a small set of poems suitable for submission to publishers, competitions or poetry magazines.
Of these four, one will be accepted for publication in the HappenStance Sampler series.
Deadline: October 15th, 2010.

I love Happenstance. The only thing is, they say they only publish poets from the UK. I assume this doesn't include the mentoring competition.
Is that right? Oh yes. "from the UK" The competition takes people who've entered the magazine competition which doesn't have such restrictions
