World Cancer Day was marked this Tuesday (4 February) by The Mulberry Centre which held an event to raise awareness of early diagnosis.

The charity was at the Tesco Extra in Isleworth to highlight to shoppers how to recognise cancer symptoms and to tell people about the support services it offers.

The Mulberry Centre was reaffirming its dedication to providing essential support and services to individuals and families impacted by cancer. This Global Day of Awareness highlights the need for collaboration in the fight against the disease in all its forms.

Since its inception, The Mulberry Centre has aimed to be a lifeline for those navigating the challenges of a cancer diagnosis. Offering free services such as counselling, holistic therapies, and practical advice, the charity plays an important role in improving the quality of life for patients, carers, and those bereaved by cancer.

Raj Athwal, Chief Executive of The Mulberry Centre, said, “World Cancer Day is a reminder that cancer touches everyone in some way, but it also unites us in the shared commitment to support one another. At The Mulberry Centre, we are here to ensure no one faces cancer alone. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected.”

Every contribution helps the charity provide free support services to individuals and families in need. To make a donation click here.

The Mulberry Centre provides many different ways of supporting the charity, either as a volunteer or fundraiser. Go to its website, call 020 8321 6300 or email talk@themulberrycentre.co.uk for more information.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. 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. All payments are made through a secure web site.
