25th Anniversary celebrations a great success
More than 1200 people congregated in the stunning West Wycombe Park to celebrate 25 years of 24-hour care with Iain Rennie Hospice at Home on 4th September.
The beautiful weather encouraged even more attendees on the day, who joined the 1200 pre-booked visitors to enjoy picnics, bar and BBQ; browse the stalls and visit our memories marquee. The beautiful backdrop of the striking house and its stunning grounds was perfectly complemented by music from five-piece jazz band the Jolly Jazzers.
The charity launched its new film at a VIP reception attended by IRHH Vice Presidents and Patrons including Geoffrey Palmer, Bill Giles and John and Virginia Bly who then joined Beverley Craven in the memories marquee to sign autographs for guests.

The fireworks finale brought the evening to a close. Sponsored by a generous personal donation, the spectacular display was beautifully choreographed to emotionally-charged music such as Lean On Me and Greatest Day.
Guests were very generous in their support of the raffle and silent auction, which raised more than £3,500 between them.
Final figures are yet to come, but the event looks set to have been a great success in terms of funds and awareness raised.
Chief Executive Robert Breakwell said: "A huge thank you to all our colleagues and volunteers who masterminded the event, and to our guests for their support and enthusiasm."
Photographs are by Paul H Lunnon and Lewis Fletcher who gave their time free of charge to record the event. Their stunning photographs have been set to music and are available on a DVD. Click here for more.
