Help make sure no one faces dementia alone
Sage House (registered charity no. 1158640) is a specialist dementia charity based in Tangmere, West Sussex, supporting people living with dementia (including Alzheimers), their families and carers across our local communities.
We provide practical, emotional and social support from our community hub, alongside outreach services that take support into local communities, reaching people who may otherwise struggle to access appropriate support.
It costs over £1.6 million each year to run Sage House, of which we need to raise over £1.3 million. Less than 2% of our annual income comes from statutory sources, meaning we rely heavily on charitable trusts, grants, voluntary donations and fundraising activities to continue providing our services.
Why support Sage House?
There is a significant and growing need for dementia support across West Sussex. Sage House exists to provide accessible, personalised support to people and families who are navigating the challenges of dementia, which includes Alzheimers.
An estimated 19,350 people are living with dementia in West Sussex alone.
We provide a full range of services under one roof including information and advice, Day Breaks respite care, community outreach, wellbeing activities, personal care and more.
A proven model with measurable impact
Our Sage House Model has been independently evaluated by the University of Chichester's Cognitive Ageing and Dementia Laboratory. The evaluation found that the model improved wellbeing, quality of life and life satisfaction, with an estimated saving to health and social care of £1,722 per person each year.
Our services support over 3,850 unique people affected by dementia each year, both at Sage House and through our community outreach.
How your funding could make a difference
We welcome grants of all sizes and work with funders to identify opportunities that align with their charitable objectives. A grant could support a specific service, project, activity or resource – or provide unrestricted funding where greater flexibility would have the greatest impact. Our current priorities include:
We are continually responding to emerging local needs and developing innovative approaches that improve outcomes for people living with dementia and their families. We would be delighted to discuss our current priorities and identify an opportunity that aligns with your Trust or Foundation's objectives.
