In 2001 the Joshua Foundation introduced an exciting new event to its timetable- the Oz Experience, a project specifically designed to provide young people with the opportunity to change the lives of children with terminal cancer. Since its inception in 2002 we have sent approximately 1000 young adults on this exciting life changing project from schools/ colleges across the UK.

Due to the success and popularity we have decided to develop a new project alongside “The Oz Experience”. In 2011, The Joshua Foundation, is association with SHRAM EVENTS, will launch a new overseas expedition called “The USA Experience”, allowing young people to travel to the USA to engage in conservation and restoration projects in New York City and New York State.

More details on the "USA Experience"

This overseas challenge offers the trip of a lifetime in exchange for youngsters raising sponsorship money, half of which pays for the trip and the other half comes to our work for children with terminal cancer.

Sixth Form pupils are visited in school where following a presentation they are recruited into teams who work to make life an experience for lots of children and their families.

For details of the sponsorship levels for each trip please call us on 02920 504586
