Ideal Boilers has donated its two millionth Logic boiler to help support the vital work of a charity improving the lives of homeless people across the UK.

Emmaus, which has just opened a shop in Hull, supports more than 750 formerly homeless people, by providing them with a home for as long as they need it and work in social enterprises. The charity hopes to help 1,000 people by 2020.

“We are extremely touched and grateful to receive the two millionth Logic from Ideal,” said Emmaus Enterprise Manager, Simon Collinge.

“We value all our relationships with local businesses, particularly those with such strong ties to the City of Hull. This donation will help tremendously in raising the profile of homelessness and important funds for our community. The boiler will provide one lucky household with the warmth our formerly homeless companions have themselves, in the past, gone without.

“Every pound spent in one of our enterprises, which include cafés, house clearance businesses, gardening projects and clothing shops, supports our wider approach to reducing homelessness and helping people get back on their feet,” he added.

The boiler was presented by Ideal’s Area Sales Manager Luke King, at a special reception to promote the new shop’s work.

“This is a fantastic charity doing vital work for homeless people in our hometown of Hull. So we’re delighted as a business our two millionth Logic boiler is helping such a worthy cause,” said Luke.

The impressive milestone of producing the two millionth Logic was celebrated with a visit to Ideal’s HQ and Centre of Excellence in Hull by the city’s Deputy Lord Mayor Pete Allen.
