We research what stops people accessing work, skills and opportunity. Then we build practical responses with communities across the North West.
Why MOSAIC exists
Recruitment rules, access to technology and the way services are designed can restrict people’s options. MOSAIC’s purpose is to understand those barriers and work with the people affected to change them.
Our focus is people furthest from opportunity, including people with criminal records, people facing long-term unemployment and families in deprived communities.
The purpose. The approach. The person.
Work, skills, digital access and the rules that affect people’s options.
Combine lived experience and research. Agree what to test and how to assess it.

Phil’s background and motivationParticipation
Community knowledge should inform the questions, the interpretation and the proposed response. Participation needs clear consent and an explanation of how contributions will be used.
Accountability
Our commitment is to explain methods, report limitations and distinguish proposed work from measured results. We’ll publish findings when there is evidence to report.
