The Story of The Joshua Tree
Supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of families affected by childhood cancers.
The Joshua Tree is a charity like no other.
We pride ourselves on offering tailored, responsive support to families affected by childhood cancers, providing the bespoke care needed to nurture emotional health and wellbeing at every stage of the journey.
Our flexible, family-led approach makes us uniquely inclusive. We recognise that every experience with childhood cancer is different, and that’s why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution.
We’re here for you, ready to listen, adapt, and support you in the way that works best for your family.

Don’t see something that fits your needs? Get in touch, we’re here to listen and will do our best to find the right support for you.
Sometimes, it’s the quiet support that matters most.
At The Joshua Tree, we understand that a childhood cancer diagnosis affects every part of life. That’s why our support extends far beyond scheduled sessions or group activities.
It might be a quick check-in phone call when you’re feeling overwhelmed, a quiet space to sit with a cup of tea and gather your thoughts, or a helping hand with day-to-day tasks that have taken a back seat while you focus on your child’s treatment.
We’re here for the things you didn’t know you needed until the moment arrives.
We understand that this journey can be challenging and, at times, overwhelming for everyone in the family. You may not have considered seeking support, or might feel unsure whether a charity is right for you.
The Joshua Tree can offer support with a simple cup of tea in a relaxing space, or as personal as tailored counselling to help you cope.
