Also in attendance were special guests HRH Princess Badiya bint El Hassan of Jordan, the Founder Chairman of Mosaic, as well as Mosaic’s current Chairman Shabir Randeree CBE.

The announcement of the 2016 Mosaic Princess Badiya Mentor of the Year, an award established in honour of HRH Princess Badiya bint El Hassan recognises the commitment made by dedicated mentors who volunteer their time and skills mentoring young people from deprived communities to help them realise their talents and potential.

Those in attendance heard first hand the positive impact the Mosaic programmes had on young people and how in some cases they transformed the lives of those going through them.

The UKIM were specifically thanked and given an award as a token of appreciation for their continued support in helping deliver the Mosaic project where around 8000 young people, largely Muslim children, go through and benefit from the mentoring programme.
