Coventry-based Lawton Tubes, the copper tube and fittings supplier, is donating more than £1,000 of copper tube towards a project by installer charity Warriors of Warmth.
Warriors of Warmth are a team of installers that work around the country providing free plumbing and heating, on a wide mix of projects, from installing central heating in foodbanks to new radiators in homeless shelters, relying on donations of materials from suppliers to carry out the work for free.
Its latest project involves installing a heat pump, gas boiler and radiators at a disused three-storey bank in Grimsby so it can be converted into a homeless shelter for the Christian Action Resource Enterprise (CARE), which provides help with housing, essentials, and one-to-one support in the town.
Founder of Warriors of Warmth, Jonathon Hallam, said: “We partnered with Lawton Tubes after a lot of traders in our network recommended them when we needed a copper supplier. It didn’t take long after I reached out to secure a partnership between us. Copper is a vital and sometimes expensive resource for installation projects, so to have Lawton on board was fantastic.”
