Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has announced its new House Charity for 2025 is Dementia Support at Sage House in Tangmere, West Sussex.
Founded in 2014, the charity works closely with the NHS, West Sussex County Council and other statutory, voluntary and charitable organisations. The premises opened in 2018 in order to provide a welcoming hub for dementia support services.
Andrew Ball, head of corporate relations and heritage at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said: “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.”
Over the past year, 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.
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.”
