WHO IS MOSAIC CLUBHOUSE?
Mosaic Clubhouse is a unique, internationally renowned, mental health recovery community provider. We are right in the heart of Lambeth and wider south-east London, supporting the mental health system. We help over 400 Lambeth residents living with poor mental health each year through our work.
Mosaic people are not defined by their diagnosis but by their potential. They are our members, working side by side with staff to run every part of the Clubhouse. From reception to communications, café operations to fundraising, our model builds a sense of belonging.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
Our community reflects the heart of Brixton and Lambeth; diverse, creative, and resilient.
Mosaic runs on collaboration, not hierarchy. Our members both shape decisions and co-deliver our programmes and services. They also serve on our Board of Trustees, ensuring lived experience drives everything we do.
Our vision is for people, from all walks of life facing mental health challenges, to achieve their potential and feel respected.
IF YOU JOIN US…
