About us
Mosaic 1898 are a 125 year old, disability charity that was founded in Leicester in 1898. The inception stemmed from a random act of kindness, and paved the way for the work we do today. Our founding story is inspirational but we don’t know enough about our charities’ work – we want to know more, and this is where we need your help.
This project is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and we would like to thank National Lottery players nationwide for making this vision a reality.
