Community engagement
We recognise that we play an important role in our local community as a Funeral Director in Llandudno, Conwy and Colwyn Bay. We aim to make the communities in which we operate better places and like to get involved with our local community where we can. We use our skills, and where possible the Company’s resources, to help create a mutual benefit.
Recent examples of these can be found by clicking the links below but include sponsoring two local junior football team kits, donating to a defibrillator in Llanrhos and donating plaques to local charities for their remembrance trees. We also run a monthly coffee morning for anyone that has been bereaved.
Tom Owen and Son are proud to have signed up to the Breastfeeding Welcome scheme.
On 27 September 2022, Tom Owen and Son were proud to attend the ROC Convention at the Festival Church in Towyn. Alongside North Wales Police, the Llandudno Mayor plus members of local faith groups and charities, we joined an action group to help make our communities better places.
Rotary and Soroptimist support
In October 2021, Tom Owen and Son were delighted to be able to donate two plaques to Soroptimist Llandudno, as part of their centenary celebrations. The plaques are within Happy Valley, Llandudno and are positioned on the bench and with the newly planted trees to celebrate the anniversary.
Tristan Owen became the youngest President of Llandudno Rotary on 1 July 2023 and looks forward to his year of supporting local charities and the community of Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Conwy.
Grass roots football
Tom Owen and Son have sponsored the football kit for the Llandudno Junction Dragons football team since the 2021-2022 season.
As part of our commitment to giving back to the local community we were really happy to have been asked and how smart do they look.
The Llandudno Junction Dragons went on to win both the 2021-2022 2022-2023 and seasons!
Remembrance Parade Llandudno 2023
On 12 November 2023, both Kelly and Tristan Owen and Chris Lea took part in the Remembrance Parade in Llandudno. Tristan laid the wreath for Rotary of Llandudno, while Chris Lea laid the wreath for Tom Owen and Son. Kelly had the honour of sight guiding Les who is visually impaired, to lay his wreath on behalf of the Blind Veterans UK. Kelly was delighted to then have lunch at the Blind Veterans Centre in Llandudno.
Local charity support
In September 2022, Tom Owen and Son took part in a charity quiz night to raise funds for St David's Hospice. At Rydal School, alongside many other local teams, a total of £15,002 was raised.
We have taken part in the Christmas Tree Festival at St John's Methodist Church in Llandudno since December 2021 to raise funds for St David's Hospice.
During June 2023, both Tristan and Kelly Owen took part in a Dragon's Lair challenge at Ysgol Bryn Elian to raise funds for Ty Gobaith Children's Hospice. This took the form of a Dragon's Den style pitch by Year 10 pupils, as part of their Welsh Bacc, to local businesses who gave feedback on the various fundraising ideas. It was great to attend the Enterprise Fair and see the results of the challenge.
