- Rolls-Royce extends its 2025 House Charity support into a second year
- First time a House Charity has been extended since the programme
began in 2003 - Builds on momentum created during the first 12 months for even
greater impact - All future House Charities will be appointed for a two-year term
to maximise community benefit
“For the first time since we began the House Charity programme
back in 2003, we are extending our support for our current local
good cause to a second year. Long experience has shown us that by
the time we say goodbye to each House Charity, there is genuine
trust, understanding, respect and affection between our respective
organisations, and real momentum behind the fundraising effort – all
of which is then set aside and started again from scratch with a new
partner. Extending our support into a second year gives us the time
and opportunity to really capitalise on all the good work done in
the first year, enhancing our overall impact and making a more
meaningful contribution over time.”
Andrew Ball, Head of Corporate Relations, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is delighted to confirm that
it is extending its support for its 2025 House Charity, Dementia
Support at Sage House, for a second year. The announcement came at a
gala fundraising evening hosted at the Home of Rolls-Royce.
Although some local good causes have been the marque’s House
Charity more than once, this is the first time in the history of the
programme, which was launched in 2003, that Rolls-Royce has supported
the same House Charity two years running. In future, every House
Charity will be appointed for a two-year term.
The announcement means that in 2026, staff will continue to
raise funds for Sage House, which brings vital support, guidance and
care services for people living with dementia together under one roof.
In Tangmere, West Sussex, Sage House acts as an inclusive and
welcoming central hub for dementia support services that has
positively changed the lives of thousands of families across the
county. An independent report by the University of Chichester found
that, as well as improving wellbeing and quality of life for people
living with dementia, Sage House saves the Local Health and Social
Care economy over £1,700 per person per year by providing integrated
services which support people from pre-diagnosis through to end of life.

Staff at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars nominated Sage House as their
House Charity at the end of 2024 and have been engaged in fundraising
throughout 2025. Extending the relationship into a second year will
allow both parties to build on the close working relationship and
momentum they have developed in 2025, to produce an even greater
positive impact.
The gala event, which would normally have signalled the end of
formal fundraising efforts for the year, saw over 120 guests enjoy an
evening of fun, wine-tasting and a charity auction, raising more than
£50,000 for the charity.
Sally Tabbner, Chief Executive of Sage House, said: “We
could not be more thrilled – and deeply honoured – to be chosen once
again as the Rolls-Royce House Charity, particularly as this is the
first time in the history of the programme that such an extension
has been made. When the announcement was revealed at the gala event,
it took us completely by surprise and transformed an already
extraordinary evening into something truly magical. This continued
partnership means we can reach and support even more families living
with dementia, and we are profoundly grateful to Rolls-Royce for
their belief in our work and for placing their trust in us for
another year.”
