Talent Aid 

Talent Aid came into existence as a voluntary organization in 2004, was registered in July 2005 as a charitable company limited by guarantee, and then granted full charity status in June 2006 by the Charity Commission, UK. It is a community response to addressing the gaps in harnessing the talent, skills and practical abilities of black and ethnic minority communities in Surrey so that they can fulfil their aspirations, enter gainful employment or acquire skills through purposeful activities such as volunteering. Additionally, the organization has been engaged in a number of activities in Ghana which will hopefully be extended to other developing countries. In view of all these, the objectives of Talent Aid are to advance education, relieve need, hardship and distress and provide facilities for recreation in the interests of social welfare in particular but not exclusively for the benefit of ethnic minority communities in Surrey.
