These are new plants planted this year from Homebase. Having difficulty identifying the issue and treatment. Especially leaves curling, not much about that online. Is anyone able to help? Thanks

Have they flowered & fruited? Either way by now most strawberries have finished & need all leaves cutting off & in your case burning. Then give it them a good water & maybe a feed. Hopefully they should grow some fresh healthy new leaves.

Yes had some strawberries although not much.

Do you know if it's blight or scorch and is there something I could have done to prevent it? It's a new raised bed, earth from another part of garden that had plants, and then I put compost on top. I have cabbages next to strawberries in same raised bed. They're coming out nice and ate one already.

Looks like leaf blight. It's a fungal disease and nowt you could have done about it. Cut off infected leaves and burn, as suggested. You don't usually get much of a crop in the first year but things will improve.
