Good Neighbour Awards 2024 – Winners

We’re celebrating the incredible neighbours of 2024, chosen by our residents for their kindness and community spirit! Each deserving winner has been honoured with a festive Christmas hamper as a token of appreciation.

Leigh Arundale, St Monica’s, Old Colwyn

“Leigh cares and takes pride in his community and is always on hand to help others. He takes care of the communal garden area throughout the year keeping things tidy, and in the summer is always outside giving the garden some TLC and adding some colour.”

Dorothy Caldwell, Llys y Coed, Llanfairfechan

“A wonderful neighbour, helpful to others, and always ready to lift people’s spirits. She has maintained the public white board in the dining room, which shows upcoming events from our What’s On programme and draws special attention to them. It’s a great gee-up to get an audience.”

Beryl Greenhalgh & Anne Clegg, Hafod y Parc, Abergele

“I would like to nominate Mrs Beryl Greenhalgh and Mrs Ann Clegg for tirelessly and continuously helping Hafod y Parc to be a happy community. They organise and help with all events, gardening and making various items of crafts to sell to raise money for our resident’s fund. They are both approachable, always there to help any neighbour and will get stuck in without needing to be asked.”

Luke Ginsberg, St Mary’s Hostel, Bangor

“Luke has been cooking communal meals his fellow residents and excelled in the whole process from start to finish. This is a huge challenge to get the residents together in a positive moment/environment, building rapport with one another, enabling them to get on. His presence is always positive, polite, well – mannered. Always encouraging to empower the other residents too. Luke really has come on leaps and bounds compared to where he was before moving over to the hostel.”
