02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Butterfly Trust was founded in 2002 to provide support to the Cystic Fibrosis community of Scotland. Our aim is that people living with Cystic Fibrosis will have access to the support they need to ensure they can benefit from optimum home care and enjoy the best possible quality of life in the community. This means providing practical help and advocacy to promote their rights by giving them a voice in areas that include housing, finance, education, employment and independent living. We also offer emotional support and counselling to relieve stress and grant to alleviate financial hardship. All of our services are confidential and free of charge to anyone affected by Cystic Fibrosis throughout Scotland.
