Our Children in Need giveaways began in 2012, and in November 2013 we spent a day serving free ice creams at special needs schools in Salford and Failsworth. "Seeing the children come out to get their ice creams was wonderful," Austin said at the time. It's still one of the things we're proudest of as a family business.

Austin Ices saved the day at our event! They turned up at very short notice & were fantastic. We will definitely be using them again.
Fantastic service and great ice cream! He arrived on time, was very courteous and most importantly the ice cream was fantastic. I would certainly recommend Austin.
