IPU Volunteers
We have volunteers based in the hospice in-patient unit (IPU) who are there to offer social and emotional support to patients and their friends and family. If you would like to become an IPU volunteer, you will need to complete our Compassionate Neighbours Induction Session here at the hospice. A member of the Compassionate Neighbours team will be in touch to give you the details. 

References
Please provide details of two referees that have known you for at least 12 months. These can be teachers, employers, friends, neighbours etc. They must be over 18 years of age and should not be members of your family.

Please provide email addresses for both of your referees - this is the easiest way for us to collect this information as an email will be sent to each referee asking them to complete a very short form.
