Mosaic receives a limited amount of local authority funding and as a result we rely on individuals, businesses and events. Every penny that we receive is genuinely appreciated as each one makes it that little bit more possible for us to continue our work in the Dorset community supporting children, young people and families who have been bereaved.

Mosaic is a Dorset wide charity offering a pathway of support for bereaved children, young people and their families.
Founded in 2007, Mosaic was created to fill the gap in bereavement provision across the county. Prior to this, support for bereaved children and young people was limited as the only support available was from hospices following the death of someone suffering from a long-term illness.
Mosaic support children and young people who have been bereaved of someone special, such as a parent, sibling, friend or a member of their extended family. This includes all causes of death such as long-term illness, sudden death, suicide, murder or road traffic accident.
