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.
The Butterfly Trust are a Scottish registered charity that offer direct one to one support to people living with Cystic Fibrosis. Mentors offer support to young adults with Cystic Fibrosis in improving socialisation, broadening horizons and exploring concerns to improve self-esteem, enhance coping skills and the person's quality of life.
Volunteering is a fantastic way to make a difference to the life of someone else, and an opportunity to enhance your own life and build new skills. The support worker undertakes tasks that make a real difference to the quality of life for the young people we support. He/she is our first point of contact with clients responding to requests that are often for practical help but also just someone to talk to.
Our befrienders offer one to one support to a young person aged 8 to 18, who has Cystic Fibrosis. Young people living with this condition have a demanding daily treatment regime at home and sometimes experience limitations that can affect their confidence and ability to cope with the challenges of everyday living.
