We take in dogs and cats looking for new companions. We bring them back to full health where needed and maintain their health while they are with us. We find new suitable homes for the animals having had them neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. To do all of this we need to raise around £170,000 every year of which some £90,000 is for veterinary fees. Last year ten of the animals in our care each cost us over £1000 in vet fees and these animals alone counted for £20,000 of our veterinary expenditure. All our work is voluntary and unpaid and a great deal of time is devoted to fundraising in order to continue our work. Last year we "improved the lives" of 191 dogs and cats and have rehomed over 6000 dogs and cats since we were formed in 1971.

We are a 4-11 Voluntary Aided Church of England Primary School located on the eastern side of Spalding. Our school is a growing community. We are currently transitioning from a two form entry school into a three form entry school. This means that year groups which previously had two classes are being phased out and each new year group will have three classes. This is an exciting time at SPCEDS as we continue to grow and evolve. We can currently have 520 children on roll but in time, once each year group has three classes we hope to have 630 children on roll. We would strive for the opportunity to enhance and develop our outdoor learning environment for all children at our school. This would go hand in hand to support with making valuable learning opportunities outdoors which could be embedded throughout our developing curriculum. The children at our school are the centre of our education and we want to nurture and encourage them to have the best learning opportunities we can. To enhance the outdoor area we would like to complete the painting of the fences of our Foundation Area and rebuilding the flower planter, then developing the garden in our Year 1 area, garden of reflection and shared garden planters across school.

At The Butterfly Hospice Trust, we believe that a hospice is not just a building - it is a way of caring for and improving the lives of people who have a life-limiting illness or terminal illness helping them to live well before they die. The Butterfly Hospice is a new hospice built thanks to the support and generosity of the South Lincolnshire Communities who wanted an accessible local hospice for local people. They raised £1million and the hospice was built. The Butterfly Hospice stands in 4 acres of grounds next to Boston's Pilgrim Hospital. Each room has an en suite bathroom with a patio and access to the gardens with willow arbours, orchard and floral areas. There is a hydrotherapy/treatment room, lounge and further space to build a sunroom on to the lounge so that patients can enjoy out of their own rooms if they so wish. The Butterfly Hospice has four retail outlets including shops in Station Street, Spalding and Market Place, Boston plus a furniture and electrical store in Hamilton Way, Boston from which the house collection/clearance service is organised. Also our new store in Skegness. Fundraising Events are held by the charity including the annual Lincoln to Boston cycle ride and the annnual Butterfly Release which is an opportunity to celebrate life by releasing hundreds of Monarch Butterflies. As a small charity it is essential that local people and local businesses/organisations continue to support the Butterfly Hospice and we will support and work with anyone who is generously fundraising or holding a fundraising event on our behalf. To date we have received NO statutory income.
