The Joshua Tree charity supports families across the North West and North Wales living with the life changing experience of childhood cancers. We offer support to the whole family – patient, parents, siblings, and grandparents with 1-2-1 support, practical and therapeutic help to ensure that life remains as normal as possible during an incredibly traumatic time. Facing childhood cancer can be a devastating experience and its impact may last for many years after treatment ends. Every family’s experience and needs are unique and we are working with many families and schools to provide support that is tailored to their needs. Some of the areas where we can offer support include: Emotional Support including 1-2-1 support, play therapy and support groups or just someone to talk to Practical Support and signposting to sources of information, assistance and advice Family activities and events, half-term activities, a monthly Saturday club Supporting the child and their family in achieving the best academic, social and emotional outcomes both in and out of the school environment. This includes liaison with schools to ensure that staff receive information on how best to support a child with cancer or leukaemia.
