Gallaway Construction, the main contractor for the £5million renovation of Warrington’s Pyramid Centre, will aim to support the homeless community in Warrington.
Part of these initiatives will see the company donate 25 winter survival backpacks this month to vulnerable rough sleepers through Warrington’s Room at the Inn shelter.

These items have been carefully selected to provide necessary support to rough sleepers during the harsh winter months.
Renee Preston, director of Gallaway Construction, said: “At Gallaway, we strive to make a real, tangible impact on the communities we work within.
“Through these winter backpacks, we hope to bring comfort and security to people facing harsh weather conditions without shelter.
“This initiative is about coming together as a community to show that we care.”

She added: “The blankets will offer essential warmth, and the torches and whistles provide a layer of security for those sleeping on the streets.”
Gallaway Construction has been a long-standing supporter of Room at the Inn.

This gesture significantly improved the available space and functionality of the premises, both indoors and outdoors.
Mel, also from Room at the Inn, praised Gallaway’s efforts, saying: “Gallaway and the team have been excellent, they have actively engaged with us and listened to our needs.

“The yard is now a more inviting space, and areas that were unusable can now serve as private spaces for those in need.”
As Gallaway Construction continues renovation works at Warrington’s Pyramid Centre, the company is determined to make a lasting impact on the Warrington community through its various initiatives.
