• Dementia Support at Sage House is named as the Rolls-Royce Motor
  Cars House Charity for 2025
• Nominated and voted for by staff across the business
• Fundraising activities will be planned and run throughout the
  coming year
• Continues support for local good causes since the Home of

“Choosing a new House Charity is an annual tradition we’ve proudly
upheld ever since the Home of Rolls-Royce first opened in 2003. It’s
an entirely staff-led endeavour, in which our team generously give
their time, energy and money to support a local good cause they’ve
nominated and voted for and is truly close to their hearts. We’re
committed to being a good corporate neighbour, and the House Charity
is a tangible, positive way for us to play our part in the local
community, over and above our economic contribution. We look forward
to supporting Sage House during 2025.”

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is delighted to announce that
its new House Charity for 2025 is Dementia Support at Sage House. The
charity brings a range of vital support, guidance and care services
for people living with dementia together under one roof at Sage House
in Tangmere, West Sussex, just a few minutes from the Home of
Rolls-Royce at Goodwood.

Founded in 2014 by a group of local people with personal
experience of dementia in their own families, the charity works
closely with the NHS, West Sussex County Council and other statutory,
voluntary and charitable organisations.

The premises, opened in 2018, provides a warm, inclusive and
welcoming hub for dementia support services.  Since then, they have
made a real difference, positively impacting the lives of thousands of
families across the county.

Over the past year alone, the charity has supported more than
3,000 people with advice and emotional support, delivered over 3,600
respite sessions for carers and hosted around 600 activities to
promote physical and mental wellbeing.

An independent study by the University of Chichester found that
people living with dementia who access Sage House report better
quality of life, improved wellbeing and greater life satisfaction. By
bringing all these essential services together under one roof, it is
also helping to save the health and social care economy over £1,700
per person each year.

Sally Tabbner, CEO of Dementia Support said, “We
are absolutely thrilled and deeply honoured that Sage House has been
nominated as House Charity of the Year by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
This recognition is a testament to the vital work we do in
supporting individuals and families affected by dementia. The
partnership with Rolls-Royce will make a tremendous difference,
helping us to expand our services, reach more people in need and
continue to innovate in dementia care. We are incredibly grateful
for their support and excited about the impact we can achieve
together in the year ahead.”

Each year, staff at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars choose a new
House Charity through a nomination and voting process first
established when the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood opened in 2003.
They organise fundraising events throughout the year, consistently
raising substantial sums for local causes close to their hearts.

During 2024, Rolls-Royce staff raised money for Aldingbourne
Trust, which supports more than 1,500 people with autism, autism
spectrum disorders and Down Syndrome, as well as those living with
physical disabilities. The charity operates social enterprises,
training and other activities through the Aldingbourne Country Centre,
a popular visitor attraction and conference venue near Goodwood.
