This Hospice Care Week, we wanted to share a personal message from our CEO about what The Butterfly Hospice Trust means to our community and why the support we receive matters.
“When I think about what Butterfly means to our community, I think about the people who come through our doors. Someone needing comfort and care. A family wanting to stay close. Someone who needs a listening ear during bereavement.
As CEO, part of my role is to look ahead and help make sure that support will be here for the next person and the next family who need us.
As a charity, we rely on fundraising, donations and income from our shops to help sustain the support we provide. Every contribution helps us keep the Hospice running and plan with confidence for the future.
My ask this Hospice Care Week is simple. If you can, please support Butterfly in a way that works for you. That might be shopping in one of our charity shops, giving a little of your time, organising a fundraiser, making a donation or helping us spread the word about the care and support we offer.
To everyone who already supports us, thank you. Behind every act of kindness is someone helping another family through a difficult time.”
Heidi Freeman
CEO, The Butterfly Hospice Trust
