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.
