Hospices of Hope Paris Event 2024
On Tuesday 22nd October Hospices of Hope hosted a networking event at the Romanian Embassy in Paris, welcoming 80 distinguished guests.
The evening began with a gracious welcome from Her Excellency, Ioana Bivolaru, Ambassador of Romania to France. We are deeply grateful for her support and for the opportunity to gather at the Embassy.
A highlight of the event was an inspiring speech from long-standing supporter Gregoire Vigroux, who spoke passionately about the important role charities play in the business world. Drawing from his personal experiences, Gregoire shared how he and his team have supported Hospices of Hope’s initiatives in Romania and reaffirmed his commitment to our cause.
Mirela Nementau, CEO of our partner organisation, Hospices Casa Speranței in Romania, provided an insightful update on the challenges and opportunities they face. She highlighted their most ambitious project to date: building a new Children’s Hospice Hospital. Fundraising efforts are currently underway to ensure this transformative project becomes a reality.

The evening also provided an update on the charity’s presence in France, highlighting its operation under the Fondation de France platform, which allows donations from both individuals and businesses, which now qualify for tax reductions in the country.
Guests were treated to a captivating performance by a pianist and a baritone, whose moving concert added an elegant touch to the night.
The event concluded with a cocktail reception, offering guests the opportunity to network, share ideas, and foster connections. We look forward to our next event in Paris in 2025!
