Police offer backing to Joshua Tree cancer fund

-

● CHILDREN’S cancer charity The Joshua Tree has received the support of Cheshire Constabula­ry in a fundraisin­g and volunteeri­ng capacity.

The Joshua Tree provides practical, emotional and therapeuti­c support to all family members affected by childhood cancer.

Its work with siblings and schools is particular­ly in demand in the region as brothers and sisters struggle to come to terms with the upheaval cancer has on family life, and children undergoing treatment look to return to the school environmen­t after months of being stuck at home or in hospital.

The charity holds fundraisin­g events to engage with the community and reach out to families who may need its support.
