Horizons
Our Horizons Project enables people with fewer opportunities to develop their skills and realise their aspirations through taking part in unique European work training placements in catering, horticulture, construction and enterprise.
The project is a cross-border collaboration led by The Platform in partnership with organisations in UK, France, Italy and Holland as part of the Erasmus+ programme.
