Sage House Tangmere

What Sage House Tangmere does

Sage House Tangmere is a community-based dementia support hub operated by Dementia Support, a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (Registered Charity No. 1158640, Company No. 9044373). Founded in 2014 by local families with personal experience of dementia, the charity opened the Sage House facility in Tangmere, West Sussex, in 2018 and has since delivered integrated dementia support services from a single bespoke community hub. Sage House consolidates an unusually broad set of services under one roof, including Wayfinding (free information, advice, and guidance), Personal Care (hairdressing, massage, chiropody, ear care, reiki, bathing facilities), Adaptive Living (assistive technology demonstrations), Activities (creative sessions, gentle movement, music, reminiscence, themed events), Daybreaks (respite care), Dementia Training for businesses and community groups, Daisy's Café, and a Sensory Garden.

The organisation's business model is donation-funded rather than fee-based. Core Wayfinding services are provided free at point of use to people living with dementia, carers, and families across West Sussex. Revenue is generated through individual donations, regular giving, gifts in wills, funeral collections, community fundraising events (including London Marathon participation and challenge events), grants from charitable trusts, and corporate partnerships via Business Ambassadors and the Corporate Ladies Club. Distribution combines a fixed hub in Tangmere with a mobile Dementia Advice Bus and eight fixed community outreach locations across West Sussex (Emsworth, Witterings, Rustington, Parklands, Yapton, Felpham, Southbourne, Midhurst). The charity is now actively replicating this integrated hub model in other parts of the UK through a National Programme.

In terms of scale, the organisation reports a small team of around 6 employees, has reached 'thousands of families' since 2018, and was recognised with Best Overall Business and Innovation awards at the 2024 Chichester and Bognor Business Awards. Geographic operations remain concentrated in West Sussex, and no revenue, funding round, or grant figures are publicly disclosed.

Others

• Carers Trust: UK charity network supporting unpaid carers, including those caring for people with dementia. Comparable audience overlap with Sage House's family/carer support services and adjacent in the dementia support ecosystem.
• TIDE (Together in Dementia Everyday): UK charity advocating for and supporting family carers of people with dementia. Comparable in mission focus on dementia carer support and complements Sage House's wayfinding and support group services.

Broad incumbents

• Age UK: UK-wide charity supporting older people, including those affected by dementia, through local branches offering day services, advice, and activities. Comparable in delivering community-based support for elderly clients including dementia-specific programming.
• Dementia UK: National UK charity providing specialist dementia support via Admiral Nurses and a helpline. Overlaps with Sage House's wayfinding and family support functions, but operates at national scale rather than community-hub level.
• Alzheimer's Society: The UK's largest dementia charity, providing nationwide support services, research funding, and policy advocacy. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering dementia support, day services, and training that overlap with Sage House's integrated model.

Regional players

• SweetTree Home Care Services: London-based specialist dementia home care provider. Comparable as a dedicated dementia services provider focused on quality care, though operating primarily through in-home delivery rather than a community hub model.
• The Good Care Group: UK provider of specialist live-in and home-based dementia care. Comparable in dementia specialism and quality positioning, but competes via in-home care delivery rather than hub-based day services.

Direct peers

• Together Dementia Support: Community-based UK charity delivering dementia day services, activity groups, and carer support in local settings. Highly comparable to Sage House as a similarly-sized, community-rooted provider of integrated dementia support.
