Mosaic Network

The Mosaic Network is a charitable initiative founded by Charles, Prince of Wales in 2007.[1][2][3] Mosaic delivers mentoring programmes in primary [4] and secondary schools and in prisons.[5][6] The mentoring programmes are designed to help those from disadvantaged communities to realise their potential with the support of volunteer mentors.[7][8] Mosaic operates in five regions of the UK: London, North West, South East, West Midlands and Yorkshire.

Statistics

In the academic year 2012/13, Mosaic supported 5,000 young people in 140 schools and other institutions, supported by over 900 volunteers.[9] 83% of UK beneficiaries were drawn from the 20% most deprived areas of the country. Mosaic also operates internationally through its International Leadership Programme[10][11][12][13] and delivery of its Enterprise Challenge competition with local partners in Jordan and Qatar.[14] Mosaic’s International Leadership Programme supports 80 young leaders from 16 countries

Mosaic is overseen by a national Advisory Board.[20] Mosaic's Founder Chairman was HRH Princess Badiya bint El Hassan of Jordan.[21][22][23]
