About us
At The Joshua Tree, we provide bespoke programmes of support to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of families affected by childhood cancers across North West England and North Wales.
We understand that every family’s journey is unique. That’s why our support is designed to meet individual needs—whether a child is recently diagnosed, undergoing treatment, in recovery, or bereaved.
From counselling and practical guidance to fun, therapeutic activities, we are here to ensure that no family faces their journey alone.
Support that’s bespoke to you
If you are a family affected by childhood cancer, you can access our support services completely free of charge.
20 Years of The Joshua Tree
In 2026, we reflect on two decades of providing emotional health, wellbeing and practical support to families navigating life with a childhood cancer diagnosis. What began as a small, heartfelt vision of two parents has grown into a lifeline for hundreds of families nationwide.
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.
Both centres feature therapy rooms, activity areas, and outdoor spaces designed to support emotional and practical needs.
Our outreach vehicle brings counselling services directly to families who might not be able to visit Sandiway or Colwyn Bay.
“The support centre is such a safe environment for the children that some of your worries actually melt away while you are there.”
