Our Projects | InTouch Foundation

Programme 01

Mobile Kitchen

The mobile kitchen originally launched in Bradford in December 2012. In April 2013 we launched in InTouch Keighley and in May 2014 we launched InTouch Leeds. We are now looking to work with local teams to expand our project into neighbouring cities. Since the project launched - across the cities we have distributed in excess of 200,000 meals.

The aim of the mobile kitchen is to provide hot food and drinks to people that are either living in poverty or are homeless. We provide cooked meals which normally consist of a chicken biryani along with raita and bread. We also provide hot drink drinks which include hot chocolate, tea, coffee along with biscuits, cake and fruit.

What we serve

Hot meals (curry, soup, pasta) cooked fresh each week
Warm drinks — tea, coffee, hot chocolate
Sandwiches and snacks to take away
Hats, gloves and blankets in winter months
Toiletries, sanitary products and basic first aid

Overseas projects

Marriage Support Projec
InTouch Foundation supports vulnerable families in Pakistan by providing wedding support, essential household items, and financial assistance to help young couples begin married life with dignity and stability. The project also helps ease the financial burden of marriage through individual and group wedding support for families affected by poverty.
