Coach firm Jones Holidays of North Wales has been through a tough six months - with hundreds of trips cancelled in lockdown.
But rather than hibernate, the Flint based company has been out in the communities where drivers work - providing a vital service to those having to self-isolate.
They set about delivering prescriptions and food parcels to all those who needed it - and in total gave 3,700 hours of their time and have driven over 35,000 miles.
They have been awarded the Community Champion Award from Delyn MS Hannah Blythyn.
One recipient of help, said: "As someone in his 60’s and who has underlying heath issues and advisably been self-isolating since mid-March, with my monthly prescriptions requiring collection from Tesco (Mold), Chris Owens’ team of drivers have been nothing short of fantastic.
"This has eased my mind and that of my wife, and when they drop off my critical medication there is always a cheery attitude, they are truly appreciated.
"To measure how much Chris Owens’ Team has eased my fears is immeasurable and I can only express my most sincere thanks for their continued support."
Organised by Hannah Blythyn MS, the Community Champion Awards recognise individuals, community groups and organisations who have gone over and above to support others in recent months.
Chris Owens, managing director at Alpine Travel who own Jones Holidays said: “We are all delighted to have received this Community Champion Award, and are genuinely touched to have been nominated for the Community Champion Award
"This will mean a great deal to all those who were involved in the Here to Help campaign that we embarked on at the beginning of lock down, and we are thrilled to have been able to help the community in the way that we have."
Hannah Blythyn MS said: “It is a pleasure to thank the team at Jones Holidays in Flint for their efforts to support vulnerable individuals in recent months."
