Volunteering at mosaic
mosaic has always had a large group of volunteers who support our services and without whom some of the services would not exist.
Currently volunteers mainly work in:
- Sunbeam as skippers (CBA qualified) or crew. This can be on a rota or ‘as and when’
- Sailability where volunteers are volunteer helpers, assisting people getting on and off the boats or as qualified RYA instructors
- Reception as telephone operators and Reception Desk workers
- Newsletter packers who pack our newsletter every two months.
- Visitors in our Visiting Service who visit disabled people who are socially isolated either in their own homes or in residential care
- mosaic news as writers of articles
Trustees, of course, are also volunteers.
During the next few months we are hoping to develop a whole new volunteering project – offering Volunteer Placements. There will be 3 parts to this project:
- to offer people who have, or who are about to, retire the opportunity to volunteer in a wider range of our services
- to offer disabled people opportunities within mosaic which might increase their ‘employability’ or just to meet people
- to work with Jobcentres to offer unemployed people on benefits, who are required to do voluntary work, the chance to think about a career in social care.

We are also able to offer Advocacy Placements (voluntary) where people are interested in doing the Advocacy Qualification but are unable to do so because they do not have any advocacy experience. The Advocacy Placements are structured volunteering placements.
If you are interested in an Advocacy Placement contact Debbie Farrar on 0116 2318720
