Supporting the community

A team of installers that provides free plumbing and heating for worthy causes is helping to convert a disused former bank in Grimsby into a shelter for the homeless.

Warriors of Warmth works on a range of projects, from installing central heating in food banks to new radiators in homeless shelters, but relies on donations from suppliers.

Its latest project involves installing a heat pump, gas boiler and radiators at the property for Christian Action Resource Enterprise (CARE), a local charity dedicated to relieving poverty and homelessness, and Coventry-based Lawton Tubes will be donating more than £1,000 of copper tube.

Warriors of Warmth founder, Jonathon Hallam, said: “When we heard CARE wanted to convert an old bank into a dwelling for homeless people, we were only too happy to step in. It will need a full central heating system installed, which is where we come in, but we cannot do this without a strong network of installers and suppliers. We’re delighted Lawton Tubes is stepping up again to donate a significant amount towards the project.”
