Mark Mitchell, Chief Executive, Community Action Dacorum
I am delighted to be involved with the Dacorum Horizon project which is situated in the former Post Office premises in Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead.


It is open 5 days per week, Tuesday to Saturday, 10.00 am – 4.00 pm, providing local adult learners with taster sessions - from Using the Internet, to How to learn German, which can lead to signposting to other training provision in the area. We also provide a town centre base for the Dacorum First Credit Union.


Our role is to employ the Project Co-ordinator, hold the licence on the premises and provide the financial management. We are delighted to be working with the many partners including West Herts College, Dacorum Borough Council, Volunteer Centre Dacorum and others, to provide this positive example of joined up working which is making a practical difference to the lives of many who walk through the door.
