Getting involved in the local communities of Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Conwy or attending charity events is a key part of our Corporate Social Responsibility programme at Tom Owen and Son. We believe being an integral part of our community is incredibly important to us as a business to allow us to give back.
Llandudno Football Club
Tom Owen and Son sponsor Llandudno Football Club, namely our name on their training shirts and a board around the game. We decided to head to the OPS Arena, to watch their football match recently.
Conwy Mind Seal Splash
On Sunday 4 February, Kelly and Tris donned their flippers and got into the freezing cold sea in Colwyn Bay to help raise money for Conwy Mind as part of their first ever Seal Splash campaign. We joined 70 other brave souls, to have a cold water dip.
It was a great event, and it raised over £7,000 for the local charity to support their work with mental health issues.

Learning about how to discuss the period of time before someone dies, the moment of their passing and the time period after.
