Iceland has launched new offers to help parents during the half-term, as costs continue to rise during the cost of living crisis. A survey launched by the supermarket found that 56% of parents worry about the cost of food when their children are off school.

As the price of groceries continues to rise, Iceland has launched their Half Term Heroes initiative to help out. The offer is available from Friday, May 26 to Sunday, June 4.

One in two parents worry about their little one’s eating

Research by Iceland found that in addition to 56% of parents worrying about the cost of food, one in two parents are concerned about their little ones not eating well enough. Two-thirds of parents are also concerned about the cost of paying for fun activities during the break.

Additionally, over half (57%) of the parents surveyed also worry about the cost of having their little ones at home in general. The research study was conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Ketchum between May 22, 2023 and May 24, 2023 consisting of 2,000 people including 429 parents.
