A BUCKLEY business owner is giving back to the community once again this festive season with a generous annual tradition.

Every year, Tom Jones, owner of Four Seasons Tree Landscaping, donates 200 chocolate selection boxes to the Black Lion in Buckley.

During December, customers can collect one for free so that nobody goes without this Christmas.

This year is no exception with Tom also donating £1,000 from his personal savings to buy toys for children.

They will be distributed across the town during the first week of December. Those who are struggling or who aren't in a position to buy for their children this season can send Tom a message on the Four Seasons Tree and Landscaping Facebook page.

The 49-year-old said: "We totally understand it’s hard for everyone and we know it’s not much but we want to help these kids in any way we can.

"Since putting a post up on social media, the same as we did last year, we have been amazed about how many families are struggling as much we find it overwhelming."

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

The company is also hosting a £1,000 garden makeover to a special someone over the age of 65 with a winner to be announced on January 2.

"We understand the pressures elderly and more vulnerable residents are facing with the cuts made to Winter Fuel Payments", Tom adds.

"So, we're doing this on behalf of our community who help us all year round and recommend us to do work essentially boosting our business. It's not much but we hope it helps a few people out. Let's start the new year off with a smile."

Tom's kind gesture has received an abundance of praise on social media. One individual said: "The world needs more people like you", while another said: "Top bloke, heart of gold."
