On June 15, IDEAL Electrical brought together local electricians and industry volunteers to complete necessary electrical updates to Habitat for Humanity\u2019s Romford ReStore, a home improvement charity shop and community hub that provides vulnerable people, including women and families at risk of homelessness or housing poverty, a welcoming space to access advice, practical help and opportunities to learn new skills or volunteer.<\/p>\n
With more than 130,000 families in the United Kingdom without permanent housing, IDEAL is trying to make a difference. As a brand serving the construction industry, the company leveraged its electrician network and skills to be part of the solution.<\/p>\n
During the one-day service event, volunteers put their electrical expertise to use, installing hot water heaters, pendant lights, two-way switching stair lighting, replacing hand dryers and relocating lighting displays. These significant electrical upgrades to the first ReStore in Great Britain will create a positive impact across the community. With only 2% of social housing in the UK currently being furnished, the ReStore plays a pivotal role in providing affordable furniture and household goods to create a sustainable local community.<\/p>\n
This activation is part of a three-year partnership IDEAL Electrical is executing with Habitat for Humanity. Their commitment to a multi-year partnership and support on build sites reflects a shared belief that creating stronger communities requires relationships and a personal investment in the change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
