Story

March Over Childhood Cancers – Step Up for Families 🥾💛

Every day, families face the devastating reality of childhood cancer. At The Joshua Tree, we provide vital emotional and practical support to ensure no family walks this journey alone.

Our bespoke programmes of support aim to improve the emotional wellbeing and mental health of all immediate and extended family members who are affected by childhood cancers across the North West of England and North Wales.

We recognise that every family's journey is unique, our charity focuses on responding to each family’s individual needs to help them transition into their ‘new normal.’

We offer a wide range of services designed to build resilience and promote long-term wellbeing, including:

* Counselling for all family members

* Art and play therapy

* Adult wellbeing therapy sessions

* Peer support groups

* Family fun events

* Educational guidance

… and much more.

Whether recently diagnosed, going through treatment, in recovery, or bereaved, we ensure that no family faces their journey alone.

This March, we’re asking you to take steps—literally—to help us continue this life-changing work.

Why Your Support Matters

“The Joshua Tree has been fundamental in trying to get some normality back in life. They just get it. The support centre is such a safe environment for the children that some of your worries actually melt away while you are there. ” -William, who’s son was diagnosed with Philadelphia Positive T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in March 2024

A childhood cancer diagnosis changes everything. Families face hospital stays, emotional stress, and financial strain. Through tailored support, we help them navigate this challenging journey with confidence and care.

By taking part in March Over Childhood Cancer, you can help us reach more families when they need it most.
