CTS Projects paves way for £10k charity partnership

MD of the Warrenpoint based heating and renewable energy installer, Connaire McGreevy, has announced that the company will donate ten pence for every boiler they service to the charity, which helps the poorest and most vulnerable people around the world lift themselves out of poverty.

To launch the new partnership, CTS Projects hosted a breakfast at Habitat ReStore in Lisburn. The shop, which is a social enterprise, is the first of its kind in Europe and sells donated surplus, new and used building and home improvement materials at low-cost.

“I may be successful now but I don’t come from a luxury or well-off background,” said Mr McGreevy.

“I am so proud CTS Projects has entered into this partnership, which I see as a perfect fit for us. We look after more than 40% of heating maintenance and installation in Northern Ireland’s social housing market, and so we understand what it is to go into people’s homes and hopefully make a difference for them.

Jenny Williams, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland said: “The reality is that every minute 20 people die because of where they live and we know that a simple home breaks the cycle of poverty.

“We are excited that this new partnership with CTS will create new opportunities to reach more people locally; through Habitat ReStore and around the world.”
