- We are registered Charity 1071619, a Company Limited by Guarantee and is administered by a board of Trustees.
- We are funded by voluntary donations from churches, individuals, fund raising events, local businesses and individuals.

ICE is a Scripture Union mission partner
Scripture Union partners with local groups who have a vision to work with children and young people in their local community
Each mission partner is encouraged to be a local expression of Scripture Union, reflecting our aims and vision in ways appropriate to the locality.
We believe the fundamental basis of this partnership is that of shared values and approaches, along with a commitment to serving God together.
