February 2012
The application for the Lottery Bid has been completed and has now been sent off. This will be a anxious time for us all awaiting the reply. We will keep you updated with the process.
Unfortunatley the Counselling Skills course which was set to run for 10 weeks in February has had to be postponed. We are hoping to commence with this in March, as we need adequate numbers for the course to run efficiently. We will keep you posted on this progress.
We are looking forward to meeting the new volunteer counsellors who will begin their training with us this month. This allows us to keep the waiting lists down for all clients wishing to access counselling.
And finally we would like to say goodbye to two of our volunteer counsellors, Nicky Ison, Veneta Koleva & support worker Maria McCarron. We wish you all the very best for the future.

Linda the Director is still in the process of filling in the application for the Lottery Bid which has to be completed shortly, both her and Natasha have been working on this during the Christmas period to try to ensure further funding for Mosaic II.
We would like to say a big thank you to Carolyn Richardson who organised a fundraising evening for Mosaic II on 9th November 2011 “Probations’ Got Talent” Natasha and Marie went along and reported that it was a very good night. Carolyn presented a cheque to Mosaic II for £410. Also we would like to thank you all for your donations towards the Christmas raffle, we had 53 gifts donated altogether, and with the Christmas raffle and the 'Pamper Day' we managed to raise £111 which was a great success.
We have advertised a counselling skills course to run for 10 weeks in February as a way to generate income for Mosaic II. There has been some interest and 3 applications have been requested so far. We are hoping to receive more applicants interested in this course.
Doreen Storey is to facilitate a personal development day for volunteers on 9th March 2012 named "Caring for the Carer".
We have organised another volunteer training event in February to enable us to ensure we don’t build up waiting lists for clients wanting to access counselling. This will run over 2 consecutive weekends.
We would like to welcome Amanda Ingram-Hardwick who will be joining our team as a support worker and will work one day a week on a sessional basis.
Claire Fraser the Independant Evaluator has sent in her report for the drop in days she had at Mosaic II in Nov and Dec. The response was excellent and we would like to thank each and every one of you who took time out to come and visit Claire.
We would like to wish everyone a very happy new year!!
