A FLINTSHIRE man has been praised for giving back to the community this Christmas.

Tom Jones, from Buckley has regularly looked to help those in his community over the past few years and this Christmas is no different.

The 48-year-old who owns Four Seasons Landscaping is giving away free selection boxes to children this winter.

Tom has done similar gestures in recent years, with the idea starting during lockdown.

He said: “It all started after coronavirus really, I was out helping people clear driveways and doing odd jobs and thought how good it would be to give back.

“I’m just trying to help people really, I’m born and bred in Buckley and I just love to give back to the community.”

Between 100-150 chocolate selection boxes (one per child) are available for families in Flintshire to pick up from the Black Lion pub.  

Tom added: “Anyone can go and help themselves to one, just ask Mike from the pub and it’ll be sorted.

“We just want to help people, it’s tough at this time of the year, so if we can help anyone we can, we will.

“Our door is open 24/7 and next year we are going to try and give even more back to the community, whether it be toys or selection boxes, whatever we can really.”
