Dilip has volunteered at St Christopher’s for three years as a Living Well at Home volunteer, an In-Patient Unit volunteer and as a Peer Learning Support volunteer. He is a qualified Soul Midwife (companion to the dying) and involved in an organisation called Companion Voices which consist of groups which sing at the bedside to people at end of life.

Dilip has a long-standing vocation to being with people towards the end of their lives, which stretches back to when he worked as a hospital porter during his summer holidays while at university.
