Good Neighbour Awards 2023 Winners

Ellen Crummie – Cwrt WM Hughes, Llandudno

Ellen is the most caring, generous and helpful woman you will ever know. She is always helping others and her home is always open for a chat or anything you need. Ellen always puts others before herself, whether it be helping with the gardens of neighbours who can’t do them, too keeping our cul-de-sac clean. She always has a smile for everyone even though she has been through a lot. She gives to so many when needed. But most importantly, she is there if you need a chat.

Veronica Griffiths – Y Gorlan, Bangor

We would like to nominate Veronica Griffiths as she has been a good neighbour and friend to several, especially over the last couple of months. Not only this but Veronica still volunteers in one of the local charity shops giving back to the local community at 82 years of age, which you would never guess from her contagious energy and enthusiasm for life. She is also a prominent contributor and motivator for social events at Y Gorlan and is one of the first to help and get her hands wet too with the dishwashing afterwards and one of the last to leave.

Geoff & Brenda Uttley – Llys y Coed, Llanfairfechan

I would like to nominate a couple for the Good Neighbour Award: Geoff and Brenda Uttley. Throughout this last year or two, both Geoff and Brenda have been suffering from serious health problems. They have not however let this stop them from carrying on with the Llys y Coed patio plants. They also continue to provide a Friday night film in the Lounge and to be active members of the Llys y Coed residents association. They also provide help to whoever needs it, bringing shopping from Tesco etc, or offering lifts.

Karen Humphreys – Hafod y Parc, Abergele

She organises the majority of our events here at Hafod Y Parc, she runs the tuck shop, charity table, and arranges the monthly bingo for the scheme. It doesn’t stop there, she goes out of her way to help anybody who is poorly, helps families to organise clearing flats (even getting her hands dirty and bagging up belongings for them). She helps out with anybody who is stuck for hospital lifts, arranges the Friday coffee afternoon, collects all of the supplies for the schemes events, and organises collections for the local Hummingbird Project.
