The team at CPOD love a field trip and February has been full of them so far.

We spent some time within the giant building known as the Southend Forum. It contains a library full of books that you can hire, gift shop, toilets, art gallery and kindergarten.

The forum is located just off of the busy Southend High St in between all of the new University buildings. It’s calm and relaxed atmosphere defies it’s location.

All kinds of facilities are available in the forum such as photocopy services, computers, internet access and scanning equipment.
