Mosaic 1898 Ltd
Charity 214212
Overview
Summary
Mosaic 1898 appears to operate as a broad disability-support infrastructure organisation in Leicestershire rather than a single-service provider. Its model combines practical support, care, advocacy, opportunities and systems-facing inclusion work, with disabled people positioned as the intended source of direction. This suggests a long-established organisation whose role spans immediate individual support and the wider conditions affecting disabled people’s independence, choice and participation.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- No current direct evidence was found that Mosaic 1898 delivers services, operates a physical site, or has a material delivery partnership within Birmingham.
- The available official evidence identifies Leicestershire as the charity's core service area, while also showing accessible holiday homes in North Norfolk. It does not establish whether any Birmingham residents use its services remotely or travel to its facilities; this would not by itself evidence Birmingham-based operations.
- Mosaic 1898 works with Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council and the NHS for referrals, but no equivalent Birmingham City Council, Birmingham NHS, or Birmingham-based partnership was evidenced.
Additional evidence needed
- A current Mosaic 1898 service-location list, contract schedule, or annual report explicitly identifying any Birmingham delivery, outreach, commissioned work or satellite provision.
- Confirmation from Mosaic 1898 or Birmingham City Council of any active Birmingham referral, direct-payment, advocacy, care or partnership arrangement.
- Evidence of a current Birmingham physical base, regularly used venue, or programme location operated by Mosaic 1898.

Observations
A joined-up model of independence
The available evidence suggests Mosaic 1898 treats independence as requiring several connected forms of support: control over personal budgets, frontline care, advocacy, accessible social opportunities and information. This may reduce the risk that people receive isolated help without the support needed to use it effectively.
Why it matters
This clarifies that the organisation’s role is not limited to care or advice. It appears to connect services that address both daily living and decision-making power.

Support provider and voice-building organisation
Mosaic 1898 appears to combine direct service delivery with representation and challenge to exclusion. Its emphasis on listening to disabled people may indicate an operating model intended to make lived experience shape both individual support and organisational priorities.
Why it matters
This distinction matters because organisations providing support can also influence whether people are heard, protected and able to exercise choice; Mosaic 1898 appears to aim for both roles.

Life-course reach may create unusual connective capacity
By offering children’s activities alongside adult day services, PMLD support, home and community care, Mosaic 1898 may be able to understand needs across life stages and maintain relationships through transitions. This could make it a useful connector for families and other local disability-focused organisations.
Why it matters
Transitions between childhood, adulthood, care, community participation and self-directed support are common points of fragmentation. A provider spanning them may identify unmet needs earlier than more specialised organisations.
Show evidence
“Children's Services include weekend activity groups, holiday clubs and family-friendly outings for disabled children.”

- How many people use each service, and which groups are least well reached.
- Whether disabled people hold formal decision-making roles in governance, design or evaluation.
- How Mosaic 1898 works with councils, health services, schools and other local organisations.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual reports or impact data showing service users, outcomes, demand and geographic reach.
- Evidence of governance, co-production practices, referral pathways and partnership arrangements.
