The Iain Rennie Hospice at Home has cared for more than 7,000 terminally ill patients and their families across the Chilterns area. Our pioneering service began in 1985 when 5 nurses helped our first patient, Iain Rennie, to come home from hospital to be with his young family during the final stages of his battle with cancer.  21 years later, the Hospice at Home charity that proudly bears Iain’s name still holds fast to the values that made a difference for him and his family. Our belief in offering practical, hands-on nursing care at home for our patients, combined with support for their families and access to a 24 hour on-call nursing service, is as strong as ever.
During the past six years, more than �59,000 has been raised to support our work by people sponsoring lights on Christmas trees spread over the Iain Rennie “patch”. Lights have been dedicated in memory of a loved one, to celebrate a special event, or as a Christmas present, perhaps for someone overseas. This coming Christmas, trees will be lit up in Hemel Hempstead, Tring, High Wycombe, Beaconsfield and Tylers Green, with dedication ceremonies being held at each venue.
The Hemel Hempstead dedication ceremony will be taking place at 6.30pm on Sat 18 Nov in the Old Town as part of the Victorian Evening.
If you would like to sponsor one of our lights or find out more, please contact our office at 52a Western Road, Tring, HP23 4BB, telephone 01442 890222 or visit our website www.irhh.org.
