The Butterfly Trust
- VO106012
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life limiting condition that currently affects around 1200 people in Scotland. The Butterfly Trust aspires to improving the quality of life for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis by providing support, promoting people's rights and helping them to live independently.
Our Drivers provide occasional transport for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis to hospital appointments. Our clients do not need any physical help getting in and out of the vehicle and our drivers use their own car. Children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis have to attend clinic appointments in hospitals to have their health monitored, usually every three months. Travelling in public transport poses risks of infection and waiting for transport in our typical inclement weather is undesirable because of their chronic lung condition.Our Drivers provide transport from home ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. This service makes a real difference by reducing some of the pressure on families at this time.
