Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has extended its partnership with Dementia Support at Sage House into 2026, reinforcing the strong collaboration established during 2025 and marking the first time since the House Charity programme began in 2003 that the same organisation will be supported for a second consecutive year. The decision reflects the momentum built during the first twelve months, as both teams developed genuine engagement and a shared sense of purpose.

The announcement was made during a gala fundraising event at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, where more than 120 guests took part in an auction and wine-tasting evening, raising over £50,000 for Sage House. Employees selected the organisation at the end of 2024 as their 2025 House Charity and have been actively participating in initiatives throughout the year to support people living with dementia.

Based in Tangmere, West Sussex, Sage House provides a fully integrated support hub offering guidance, care services, activities and respite for families affected by dementia. An independent study by the University of Chichester found that this model saves the local health and social care system more than £1,700 per person per year, while significantly improving wellbeing and quality of life.

Extending the partnership into 2026 creates an opportunity to build on the trust and progress already achieved. Andrew Ball, Head of Corporate Relations at Rolls-Royce, noted that meaningful relationships and effective fundraising typically develop just as the annual partnership is drawing to a close. A two-year term, therefore, allows both parties to amplify their impact.

Sally Tabbner, Chief Executive of Sage House, said the extension came as a welcome surprise and offers the organisation the ability to reach and support even more families. With the programme now moving to a two-year structure for all future House Charities, Rolls-Royce aims to strengthen the continuity and effectiveness of its community initiatives.
