Achievements
During the year the charity made the following major donations:
| £ | |
|---|---|
| Prostate Cancer UK | 500,000 |
| Action for Children | 331,250 |
| British Red Cross | 150,000 |
| Clean Up Britain | 125,000 |
| Maggies | 75,000 |
The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation has always had one simple mission: to make life better for people. We aim to achieve this by raising money for other good causes and by increasing public awareness of the work they do. We are independent of the Iceland Foods business, and our activities are not designed to enhance Iceland’s image or to generate publicity. We do it simply because we believe it’s the right thing to do.
We are proud of having donated more than £30 million to a variety of good causes since the Foundation was established.
Today the Foundation focuses on supporting charities in four areas: Dementia, the Environment, Wellbeing and Children.
The charity’s income recovered in 2021/22 as we were able to resume our two main annual fundraising events, suspended in 2020/21 because of the Covid-19 pandemic: our charity golf day supported by Iceland suppliers, and the charity week in Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores supported by store colleagues and customers. This year the golf competition and associated charity auction raised a total of £639,662, while the stores’ charity week raised a total of £182,941 despite the serious challenges created by the increased cost-of-living pressures affecting many customers and reduced carrying of cash to make donations.
The charity retains substantial revenues generated principally by the sale of 5p single-use plastic carrier bags in Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores up to October 2018, allowing us to respond quickly and effectively to emergency appeals as well as to maintain our ongoing support to charities in our areas of focus.
All monies raised for the charity are banked and reconciled weekly to reduce the risk of loss or fraud.
We understand the legal rules that apply to various types of fundraising and ensure that we comply with the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice.
Impact of our fundraising
The Foundation donated a total of £1,527,059 (2021: £889,436) to good causes during the year under review.
We want our fundraising and giving to make a real difference to the organisations we support, which often means choosing to focus on unfashionable causes and smaller charities.
During the year, the charity pledged £500,000 to support Prostate Cancer UK which has been recorded in our donations payable. This donation will fund a four-year awareness-raising campaign in the knowledge that the number of men presenting with symptoms of prostate cancer has declined substantially as a result of the Covid pandemic, and that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to curing the disease.
Despite being the most common cancer in men, and the third biggest cancer killer in the UK, research into prostate cancer has traditionally received much less funding than many other cancers, and we had previously donated £1,000,000 to Prostate Cancer UK over the ten years to 2018, to help advance research, raise the profile of prostate cancer and improve care.

Our donation of £331,250 to Action for Children during 2021/22 included, for the second year, a £10 donation on behalf of each of Iceland’s 30,000 employees to make them a Secret Santa to a child in need, providing them with a hot meal at Christmas or a much-needed gift including warm clothing and shoes.
In March 2022 we donated £150,000 to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal to support relief efforts in the country following the Russian invasion.
Our support for Environmental good causes during the year included a donation of £125,000 to Clean Up Britain to help fund its hard-hitting campaign to find sustainable and effective solutions to the epidemic of littering and flytipping that do so much to damage the urban and rural environment across the UK. We also continued our support for Surfers Against Sewage’s Million Mile Beach Clean and their campaign against ocean plastic pollution.
In the field of Wellbeing, we donated £75,000 to Maggie’s Cancer Centres to help fund their support services at Maggie’s Wirral, in the new Steve Morgan Foundation Building for patients at the NHS Clatterbridge Cancer Centre. We also continued our support for the UK Sepsis Trust with the donation of £28,930 raised for the charity by the Iceland London Marathon team.
Dementia was the main focus of the Foundation for many years, recognising the massive underfunding of medical research into dementia compared with other major killers such as cancer and heart disease. We are proud to have donated a total of more than £17 million to dementia charities including Alzheimer’s Research UK, the Alzheimer’s Society and UCL Dementia Research. In the two years to 2018 we donated £10 million directly to UCL Dementia Research to fund the construction of the London hub of the new UK Dementia Research Institute, while a further £10 million was donated by other UK retailers through the UCL Dementia Retail Partnership, the creation of which was driven by our trustee Sir Malcolm Walker. Together these donations played a critical role in triggering additional external funding to ensure that this vital project would go ahead.
Iceland and The Food Warehouse employees were encouraged to raise funds for local charities of their choice during the stores’ charity week in 2021. They raised a total of £182,941 which was distributed to a wide range of good causes including cancer, mental health, dementia and other medical charities, hospices and other caring charities, air ambulance services, and children’s charities.
Financial review
During the year, incoming resources raised amounted to £958,976 (2021: £365,493). Donations of £1,527,059 (2021: £889,436) have been made to charitable associations/organisations. Support costs of £119,240 (2021:£73,115) have been incurred during the year relating to administration and equipment. The closing fund balance is £3,270,926 (2021: £3,958,249) and will be utilised in the future for funding charitable events and making further donations.
Reserves policy
The reserves policy is to ensure the charity has sufficient funds to meet costs incurred by the charity on an annual basis. It is the trustees’ intention that the donations granted will be largely in line with income. There is no intention to build up a buffer of free reserves other than for meeting the charity’s annual costs.
The balance held as unrestricted funds at 5 April 2022 was £3,200,004 (2021: £3,795,458) all of which is regarded as free reserves. The unrestricted fund is held with the purpose of recording any donations received other than those with imposed narrower uses than the charity's overall objectives.
The balance held as restricted funds at 5 April 2022 was £70,922 (2020: £162,791). The charity's policy in respect of restricted funds is to record separately any donations received where restrictions are imposed that are narrower than the charity's overall objectives.

Going concern
The current financial statements show the charity maintains a strong balance sheet position and cash position.
The impact on the charity arising from the recent cost of living increases have been considered by the trustees:
-
The trustees have reviewed their current reserves policy, the current cash position and the donations committed and granted by the charity. Based upon the information available, the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient liquidity to continue activities for at least the next 12 months as a going concern.
-
The charity has current liabilities of £610,000 including projects with grants pending in the next 12 months of £210,000 (see below). The balance held as unrestricted funds on 5 April 2021 was £3,200,004
Grants Pending next 12 months
Surfers Against Sewage £50,000 Maggies £25,000 Prostate Cancer UK £125,000 UK Sepsis Trust £10,000 Grants Pending greater than 12 months Prostate Cancer UK £375,000 Maggies £25,000
The trustees therefore have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, the going concern basis is adopted in the preparation of the financial statements.
Principal Risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the charity are as follows:
Operational and financial risks from ineffective grant making and the capacity of the charity to make effective grants. This risk is mitigated by the trustees being involved in the grant making process with the knowledge that sufficient funds are available to award a grant. Grants are awarded to established charities who are required to meet appropriate financial regulatory requirements.
Key management reports, issues and actions are reviewed at regular trustee meetings. All projects are considered and reviewed as part of this process as well as the ongoing strategy.
Future plans
The charity will continue to make grants in line with the objectives and distribute income received.
Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The trustees have to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement (continued)
-
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102; The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
Conclusions relating to going concern
We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity cease to continue as a going concern.
In our evaluation of the Trustees conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the charity’s business model including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as Brexit and Covid-19, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the trustees and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the company’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
The responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the ‘Responsibilities of Trustees for the financial statements’ section of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report, set out on pages 4 to 8 other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection

DocuSign Envelope ID: B06C2920-4F19-4A44-8C7A-E1AAC8DFCF4E
The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements Year ended 5 April 2022
with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on pages 7 and 8, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity, and the industry in which it operates and determined which may influence the financial statements. Given the nature of its
10
DocuSign Envelope ID: B06C2920-4F19-4A44-8C7A-E1AAC8DFCF4E
The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements Year ended 5 April 2022
operating activities, the charity is subject to several laws and regulations where the consequences of noncompliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements.
We determined that the following laws and regulations are the most significant which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements:
-
Those that relate to reporting frameworks being FRS102 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (“Charities SORP (FRS 102)”) and the Charities Act 2011 and the relevant tax compliance regulations.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Evaluation of the processes and controls established to address the risks related to irregularities and fraud;
-
Testing manual journal entries, in particular journal entries relating to management estimates and entries determined to be large or relating to unusual transactions;
-
Identifying and testing related party transactions.
-
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that result from error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it;
-
The assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagement team’s knowledge of the industry in which the client operates in and understanding of, and practical experience through training and participation with audit engagement of a similar nature;
-
In assessing the potential risks of material misstatement, we obtained an understanding of:
-
The charity’s operations, including the nature of its revenue sources, expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risk of material misstatement and
-
The charity’s control environment including the adequacy of procedures for authorisation of transactions
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

(forming part of the financial statements)
1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:
-
Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102 SORP);
-
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
-
Charities Act 2011.
The charitable foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 Going concern
The current financial statements show the charity maintains a strong balance sheet position and cash position.
The impact on the charity arising from the cost of living increases have been considered by the trustees:
- The trustees have reviewed their current reserves policy, the current cash position and the donations committed and granted by the charity. Based upon the information available, the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient liquidity to continue activities for at least the next 12 months as a going concern.
The trustees therefore have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, the going concern basis is adopted in the preparation of the financial statements.
1.3 Income Recognition
Incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the receipt of resources is probable; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources, and where receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.

1 Accounting Policies (continued)
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Investment income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Restricted funds
The restricted funds represent the original capital sums together with the balance of income received for the relevant specific purposes, which had not been spent by the end of the financial year.
Unrestricted funds and designated funds
The unrestricted fund represents the funds to provide for the working capital of the Foundation and contingent expenditure.
Designated funds are those that have been set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted funds for identifiable future expenditure, but designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the Trustees’ discretion to apply the refunds.
1.4 Expenditure recognition
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources exists, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses involving support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
Grants with performance conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without performance conditions
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. The charity considers that commitments only arise when sufficient funds have been raised to fulfil pledges made.
1.5 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition, or opening of the deposit, or similar account.
1.6 Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.7 Financial instruments
The charity only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities, like accounts receivable and payable.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the SoFA.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the charity would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
1.8 Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is identified and disclosed for those grants resulting from:
-
a possible obligation which will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the trustees control or;
-
a present obligation following a grant offer where settlement is not considered probable.
1.9 Significant judgements and key areas of estimation uncertainty
Trustees consider there to be no items in the financial statements where they have had to make significant judgements in the process of applying the charity's accounting policies or key sources of estimation uncertainty.
