Outreach in Burnley – Every Sunday at 6:30pm

Every Sunday evening at 6:30pm, our outreach team gathers in Burnley to do more than hand out hot food — we go out to bring hope, dignity, and a second chance.
At Curry on the Street, we believe everyone deserves an opportunity to rebuild their life. Behind every person we meet is a story — addiction, trauma, mental health struggles, homelessness, broken relationships, poverty, and sometimes years of feeling forgotten.
Why We Do This
We do this because:
No one should feel invisible.
No one should face addiction alone.
No one should be defined by their worst chapter.
Addiction often comes wrapped in deeper pain — childhood trauma, domestic abuse, prison, mental health battles, or loss. It isolates people. It strips away confidence. It damages family ties. And without support, it can feel impossible to escape.
We understand this. We don’t judge. We walk alongside.
What We Want Our Service Users to Achieve
Our goal isn’t just to provide a meal — it’s to help people move forward.
We want to see:
Recovery from addiction
Stable accommodation
Reconnection with family
Improved mental wellbeing
Access to support services
Employment, volunteering, and purpose
Self-belief restored
We want every person we meet to know: Your past does not disqualify you from a future.
Why Burnley & Pendle
We support people across Burnley and Pendle because the need is real and visible. There are individuals sleeping rough, sofa surfing, struggling silently with addiction, or battling poverty behind closed doors.
Many people fall through gaps in the system. We try to be the bridge.
We offer:
Hot meals and drinks
Warm clothing and essentials
A listening ear
Signposting to recovery and housing support
Encouragement without judgement
But most importantly — we offer consistency.
Every Sunday. Same time. Same heart.
Everyone Deserves a Chance
Recovery is possible.
Change is possible.
Dignity is possible.
We’ve seen people go from the streets to stable homes.
From addiction to sobriety.
From hopelessness to helping others.
And that is why we continue.
Because everyone deserves a chance — and sometimes that chance starts at 6:30pm on a Sunday in Burnley.

Donate to Curry on the Street

Donating to a charity like ours displays the very best of human nature.

Holistic Approach – Maximum Impact!

One curry meal at a time, we work towards building a brighter and more equitable world for all.

Why Curry?

Providing a hot meal for people who need it is a simple concept, but it has a far-reaching positive impact.

The simple act of sharing a curry meal can bring more than just physical sustenance; it can also uplift spirits and restore a sense of dignity and belonging to those experiencing hardship.

“It is a different charity,” James says, “and it’s not really even about the curry at all: it’s about getting people out from behind closed doors, getting the people who isolate themselves to come out of their house and be happy.”

How We Work?

Curry on the Street meets weekly to supply a hot meal and a bag of shopping essentials to those who need it most.

Every single week, without fail, we provide food and companionship, even through the Christmas period, to anyone who needs it. We see the change in people each week and our policy is never to judge.

We are more than just a foodbank or soup kitchen. People have moved on and found housing and we are there to support anyone and everyone at any time.
