Lynda Hill (Founder and Trustee) - After
working in a respite care home for children with special needs in
Berkshire, I spent a large part of my career in the NHS at Chester
as a research psychologist before becoming a full time mum to Adam,
Beth and Josh. During my career break I completed further studies
in clinical and pastoral counselling.
Josh was diagnosed with Leukaemia just one week into year one of
his school life. He completed his treatment part way through year
four (December 2007). His illness has consequently, focussed the
direction of our lives; Dai and I are passionate about our charity
and will work hard to see this project come alive.
I am pretty bad at playing the piano! I love the theatre and going
for walks when it's sunny. Our family thrive on camping holidays
and fresh air (but I have to take my duvet!). In my spare time I
find myself heading towards 'the land' (where The Joshua Tree will
be built) and quietly giving thanks to God for his hand of
protection on our family. At other times I sleep!

Rachel Thomas (Community Fundraiser)
With a background in journalism and the media, I started working
in the charity sector in 2006. After working for a leading cancer
charity, I took a career break and travelled extensively in South
America, volunteering as an English teacher along the way. On
return to the UK, I worked within the Children's Hospice movement
before joining The Joshua Tree in January 2011.
