The
Butterfly Hospice Trust, initiated at an open meeting in
2000, was well attended with speakers from the medical profession & members of the public with
experience of the lack of local in-patient beds. Its
charitable status was established in February 2001 &
as a Co. Limited by Guarantee in January 2006:
run from offices in 126 London Rd it has a retail
outlet in 17 Emery Lane, Boston and at 14/15
Station Street, Spalding.
After
over three years of searching for suitable land, a
four acre site was identified and bought: located at the
rear of
Pilgrim Hospital with access from Rowan Way, it has full
planning permission. Building
of the first 6 bed phase of hospice commenced in
September 2009 - paused for several months due to bad
weather and has now re-commenced - see progress
page.
We
have the support of local communities and businesses, all committed to
providing this facility locally: please continue to support
us we need each & every one of you.

Hospice
Care is one of the UK’s outstanding success stories
& is now a worldwide movement. Hospices care for the
whole person aiming to meet the physical, emotional,
social and spiritual needs of those of all ages with
any life limiting illness. An important aspect of
hospice care is that of supporting loved ones –
friends and family.
Nearly
50% of those admitted to a hospice
for pain relief/symptom control return home once their
condition is stabilised. The
average stay in a hospice is between 6 – 10 days &
then the patient can return home to spend further invaluable
time with their family.
