About Butterfly Trust (Cystic Fibrosis)
The Butterfly Trust provides direct Social Support, in the community, for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis across the whole of Scotland. One of the services we offer is Befriending for children and young people who need additional support. Support will provide space to talk about interests and worries, to explore their personal hopes and work towards achieving personal goals. The aim is to help enhance social skills, increase confidence, encourage motivation and build a positive lifestyle. The services are provided by our trained volunteers who support people in their local community.

Information for Volunteers
Our Befrienders offer support to a young person living with Cystic Fibrosis. Befrienders share social activities and support to explore concerns so the person can grow self-confidence and develop life skills. A Befriender will meet with a young person regularly to build a trusting one to one relationship.
