Each year the Case selects a ‘charity of the year’ to support for fund raising activities. Our last such charity was The Samaritans of Ipswich and East Suffolk which we are pleased to say we were able to raise over £3,400 for. From April 2024, we will be supporting the Alzheimer’s Society. 
Sadly, for the last 10 years, dementia and Alzheimer’s have been the leading cause of death in Britain and a lot of people will have been touched by this devastating disease. Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity. They provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia.
The emblem of the Alzheimer’s charity is the forget me not. There will be forget me not pin badges, posters and information booklets available in the pub from late April and there’s a collection pot on the bar now.
Throughout the year we will be organising various fun events to raise money for this charity. Our monthly Quiz Night and raffle on Saturday 27th April will start us off!
UPDATE 12/6/2025: The final total collected by the pub for Alzheimers, our Charity of the Year 2024/5, was £5,177.09. In addition, the late Peter Day, Case volunteer and long standing member of the Bentley community, generated a further £2817.13 through his half marathon sponsored walk in August 2024 together with his subsequent funeral donations. The grand total of these charitable donations was therefore £7,994.22.
