Georgie Fuller - Grieving At Christmas

Inside every prison, immigration removal centre and short term holding facility there is an Independent Monitoring Board (IMB). The Independent Monitoring Board is staffed by over a thousand volunteers, operating in every prison in England and Wales, and immigration detention facilities across the UK, including the Isle of Wight. Volunteer monitoring work with the IMB gives you the opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives. You will listen to prisoners and people in immigration detention, talk to staff and see for yourself what is actually happening behind the walls. Do you want to make a difference to peoples lives within the prison environment? The IMB will be recruiting for new monitors in January 2026. You can hear from current volunteers at their upcoming virtual events: 13 January (prisons), 28 January (prisons), 4 February (immigration detention) and 11 February (prisons). The virtual open evenings are a great opportunity to hear directly from IMB members. You will have the chance to hear members talk about their experiences, ask questions and learn more about what the role consists of from those who are currently volunteering.
