Mosaic members lead fundraising and other initiatives for a number of cancer related charities in our area. If you’d like to know more or get involved then contact us
Norma Brier OBE is Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees of StLukes Hospice.
The Chair is Dr. Gillian Schiller and Norma deputises for her and shares the load when it comes to decisions, discussions and representations which require Board involvement between Board meetings. She also sits on the Income Generation Board which is responsible for the areas of fundraising, lottery and shops.
Norma has been involved with the Hospice for nearly 3 years and became involved out of interest in hospice work and a wish to contribute to one that was locally based. It is an inspirational service to the communities of Brent and Harrow and we are very lucky to have such a professionally excellent resource. The care given to patients of all races and religions and the sensitivity to cultural and religious needs, is exemplary.
Mark Phillips leads a team of over 50 volunteer fundraisers (including 20 Mosaic members) for StLukes and Macmillan Cancer Support at Wembley Arena. The team has raised over £35,000 in the past two years at events ranging from Walking with Dinosaurs (which as shown didn’t entirely go to plan!), Andre Rieu, Katherine Jenkins, Michael Macintyre, 40 years of Disco, Dancing on Ice (also shown) and many more – if you can spare an occasional 2-3 hours to help then contact us
