The charity wish to foster a strong sense of community among Tigrayans in the UK through cultural preservation, social integration and mutual support among the community. The foundation was established in July 2014 and since then, the organisation have continued to support the thriving Tigrayan community whilst integrating them into British society. Their programmes include educational services such as classes and workshops. Cultural events and activities, celebrating traditions and heritage, as well as support services surrounding employment or housing.

The CTGUK charity was nominated by the Mayor of Lambeth, Councillor Paul Valentine to receive a refurbished, Widows 11 laptop. With services they deliver, such as educational workshops, community classes and employment support, access to reliable technology will enhance these significantly. It will provide greater opportunities to develop digital skills, access online resources and engage with employment pathways. In turn, it will help members of the Tigrayan community tackle digital exclusion as they build independent lives within British society.
