£15,000 donation to support cancer counselling services
Activities at The Mulberry Centre
October 9, 2025
Northumberland Estates has awarded a £15,000 grant to The Mulberry Centre, a cancer support charity based at West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth. The funding will help sustain the centre’s specialist counselling programme, which provides emotional and psychological support to individuals affected by cancer, including patients, carers, and family members.
The Mulberry Centre offers a range of free services, including one-to-one counselling, complementary therapies, support groups, and wellbeing workshops. Its counselling provision is a core part of its work, designed to help people navigate the emotional challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.
The donation builds on an existing relationship between Northumberland Estates and the charity. Staff at Syon Park, a historic estate owned by Northumberland Estates and located nearby, selected The Mulberry Centre as their Charity of the Year. The grant reflects the organisation’s broader commitment to supporting local wellbeing initiatives.
A spokesperson for Northumberland Estates said the company was proud to contribute to a service that “can make an immeasurable difference to those navigating the challenges of cancer.”
The Mulberry Centre’s Chief Executive, Raj Athwal, welcomed the support, noting that the funding would help the centre continue offering professional counselling to those who need it most.
The Mulberry Centre provides many different ways of supporting the charity, either as a volunteer or fundraiser.

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 £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied.
