Support for Anyone Affected by Cancer
The Mulberry Centre is an independent charity and award-winning cancer information and support centre based on the grounds of West Middlesex University Hospital (WMUH) in West London. Our core mission is to improve the lives of anyone affected by cancer, by enhancing their emotional, psychological and physical well-being. The Mulberry Centre relies solely on funding to promote cancer awareness and help people live well with cancer. With empathy, passion and care we help them to start re-building their lives and promote self-management. We do this by providing counselling, complementary therapies, wellbeing classes, information workshops, social, creative and fitness activities, with a holistic approach, tailored to the needs of our clients. Services are provided at and around our dedicated centre in West London and on-line, creating a place of respite and a feeling of belonging. We’re the only information and support centre in the local area delivering free services to anyone affected by cancer:
to people with a diagnosis, their friends, family, carers and to those bereaved. Before The Mulberry Centre existed, there was no cancer information and support service in West London for anyone affected by cancer. In 1999, the WMUH launched the Pulse Appeal to raise funds for the Centre. Building work started in 2000 and in 2001 our doors opened for the first time, and we became an independent charity in 2005. Sadly, statistics show that 1 in 2 of us will experience cancer in our lives and as the rate of cancer diagnoses rises, so do the numbers looking for our support. Our team consists of compassionate and knowledgeable staff members, complemented by the invaluable contributions of 134 skilled volunteers. Together, they are committed to delivering the highest standard of care and support to those in need.

I had some counselling, and it was very helpful. The staff are very kind. Other users remind me that I can share and it’s okay to be sad, happy, confused, and anxious because it’s a safe space to be in with other users. It’s okay to laugh and cry. I can sit on my own too. It feels safe when my world feels scary.”
