Batemans "Big Week" for Lincolnshire Charity

Tuesday 5 May 2015

Batemans has announced plans for an exciting ‘Big Week’ of activities across its 60 pubs with the aim of raising £20,000 for county-based learning disability charity Linkage Community Trust.

The Big Week will take place between the 25th and 31st May 2015. Pubs across the Batemans estate will be involved, with each landlord deciding for themselves what activities they will be holding to support such a worthy cause. As an added incentive, the Batemans pub that raises the most money will win an award for Charity Pub of the Year at the brewery’s annual Rewarding Success lunch.

In addition, Batemans will be introducing a new beer for the week, Mr George’s Golden Ale, named in honour of George Bateman, who formed the long-standing family connection between the brewery and Linkage, and was chairman of the charity for 25 years. Money from every pint of this beer sold will go directly to the charity, further boosting the amount raised.
