The Story of The Joshua Tree
Supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of families affected by childhood cancers.
Families Supported
Making memories, one event at a time.
About us
At The Joshua Tree, we provide free, tailored support to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of families across the UK affected by a cancer diagnosis in a child or young person aged 0–24.
We support the whole family, including the diagnosed child or young person, parents, siblings and grandparents. Every family’s needs are different, so our support is shaped around you, from diagnosis and treatment, to life beyond cancer or bereavement.
Through counselling, physical and complementary therapies, family fun days and therapeutic activities, we’re here to help ensure no family faces cancer alone.
Support that’s bespoke to you

Supporting The Joshua Tree
We rely on the generosity of others to continue providing essential services for families affected by childhood cancers.
Explore the many ways you can support the charity, whether through a one off donation, fundraising, or corporate partnership.
Support Locations
We have two wonderful centres, one in Sandiway, Cheshire, and another at Penrhos Manor in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, offering safe, welcoming spaces for families and children of all ages.
You don’t need to live near a centre to access our support. We offer digital support to families across the UK and are expanding our work within local communities to bring services closer to home.
Our outreach vehicle also helps us bring support to families who may find it difficult to visit our centres.
“The support centre is such a safe environment for the children that some of your worries actually melt away while you are there.”
20 Years of The Joshua Tree
In 2026, we mark 20 years of helping families affected by childhood cancer. What began with two parents’ vision has grown into tailored support for hundreds of families across the UK. As we look ahead, we’re building on that work to reach more families and bring support closer to home.
