Swanage where children and young people can experience new activities,<br />

remember their special person, make new friends and have fun. While they<br />

receive some statutory funding to cover support work for many of the<br />

costs and social events organised for the children are funded through<br />

donations and fund-raising. Katie Hensman is planning a fund-raiser in the<br />

<strong>Valley</strong> and would welcome your support. Alternatively, if you have some free<br />

time and would like to volunteer with Mosaic, please telephone for more<br />
