How your donation helps
Sage House is run primarily on the generous donations of our supporters, and costs £1.4 million per year to run. Every donation helps people living with dementia access the life-changing services and facilities they need to be able to live well with dementia. You are making a real, positive impact within your community.
Over the past year we have continued to expand our services to meet the ever-growing need for dementia services in the local area. Our annual review shows our achievements as a charity in the past year and how many people affected by dementia we have supported.
Evidence of our impact
The University of Chichester has conducted an 18-month academic evaluation of Sage House’s impact on our community.
The report showed that people living with dementia who had access to Sage House had:
-
10% better Quality of Life
-
16% higher Wellbeing
-
20% higher Life Satisfaction
Likewise, their care partners had better Quality of Life due to improved access to information and support.
It also showed that by having all dementia services accessible under one familiar roof, Sage House could provide better support for a smaller cost, while taking pressure off local NHS services.
We save the NHS £1,722 per person, each year.

"Before Sage House, I felt so lonely, really lonely, but I don’t feel that anymore, it’s just one big family and that’s how we look at it now. You wouldn’t think Jean is the same person at Sage House, that’s the good thing that Sage House does for us. I wish I could bottle it and bring it home.
"I don’t know what my life would have been like without Sage House – I mean that, I’m not just saying that."
John, carer for his wife, Jean
