Talgarth Trust was started by a small group of volunteers, in the late 1990s. A division of this was Talgarth Tourist Information Centre and during the ensuing years it has gone from strength to strength, with twenty two volunteers at present. By 2004 the organisation had grown to encompass many new ventures and was renamed Talgarth Information and Resource Centre.

The Centre is open year round, six days per week in summer and five days per week in winter. It has approximately 4500 visitors annually and incorporates a Telecentre used by over 300 members of the public, both visitors and locals.
