The ‘Summer Cheer’ campaign will be rolled out across the country to those directly affected by the squeeze on the cost of living.

Where can I use the voucher?
The gift vouchers will be available to eligible pensioners in 17 areas nationwide, covering 269 Iceland stores, this will include the Govan store. The areas have been selected as places where there are some of the highest numbers of pensioners living in poverty in the country.

Pension-age residents who are living independently, or with a carer, who rely solely on a state pension and benefits will be able to claim a £30 voucher for food and other essentials if they live in one of the 17 areas.
