STUDENTS brightened up part of a Southend shopping centre with specially-commissioned pieces of art.

The pupils, from Seevic College's personalised pathways programme, unveiled their art at The Hub, in Southend’s Victoria Shopping Centre.

The Hub’s IT suite offers free computer training, helping the residents of Southend to get online and learn basic computer skills to more advanced tasks.

The pupils were enlisted by Leonard Cheshire’s Can Do project to create artwork which would brighten up the I.T. learning space.

Can Do, which is part-funded by South Essex Homes, helps people with disabilities to volunteer in their local community and help others.
