The arrows flew at the King Alfred just before Christmas to help raise £1000 for the Sandra Chapman Centre.
Regulars at the pub in Burnt Hill Way, Carlton Colville, stepped up to the oche at a darts fund-raising evening, organised by Aaron Smith and his family.
The Smith family are darts enthusiasts - their passion for the sport was originally sparked by Aaron’s grandfather David Read, who played darts for more than 50 years which included 30 years playing in the Lowestoft Festival League.
They chose to raise money for the Sandra Chapman Centre as Aaron’s grandmother Maureen Read received treatment there for breast cancer. Maureen was also suffering from dementia at the time which made her extremely anxious – but staff at the centre went out of their way to calm and reassure her.
The darts evening raised £850 – but this was rounded-up to a £1000 thanks to the generosity of the landlord of the King Alfred and Alfie’s pub Dean Bunn, who also supported the event by providing the function room.
Aaron would like to extend a huge thank you to all the local businesses, and family and friends for contributing to the amazing raffle held on the night of the event.
Our photo shows Aaron, holding the cheque with his niece Ruby Smith, with brother Jamie and mum Kelly behind him. Also photographed are King Alfred and Alfie’s landlord Dean Bunn and Charity Manager Maxine Taylor.

If you would like more information about the group please contact our Cancer Care Navigators by calling 01493 452783 or emailing CancerSupport@jpaget.nhs.uk – or please come along on Friday.
We now also have confirmed dates for meetings throughout 2026 into 2027 – please see the poster here.
