The Mulberry Centre Wants You To Take on the 21 Challenge
Walk, run, cycle, swim or back to raise funds for cancer support centre
You can cycle 21 miles to support The Mulberry Centre

The Mulberry Centre in Isleworth has been supporting people with cancer for 21 years.
Since 2001, It has provided services and support to more than 15,000 people.
It remains the only local organisation providing free information and support services for anyone affected by cancer.
One of the people it assisted from its base next to West Middlesex Hospital said, “I was a mess before I came into the Centre. I could not think. I was emotional all the time. I felt I was thrown a lifeline. I knew it would help me understand my emotions. I did not expect to be laughing so much! I found the service extremely helpful. I love coming to the Mulberry Centre because it feels such a safe place to be and exudes calm and care.”
To mark the milestone it is asking for help in raising the £500,000 it needs in charitable donations and grants this year to continue delivering its critical services.
It wants people to take on the 21 Challenge. Walk, run, cycle, swim, or bake, whatever you can do around the number 21 to challenge yourself to celebrate its 21st birthday.
How can you take part in this challenge? You can get the whole family involved and be creative by setting each person their own 21 challenge.

We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
