We are starting our journey to install a new bespoke bench next to our beautiful Tree of Tranquillity in Provan Hall, Glasgow. We want to make this a special place for everyone to visit, so we would like to replace the worn wooden bench currently on site with a beautiful bespoke bench.

The SiMBA Trees of Tranquillity are stunning hand crafted, life sized copper sculptures which have been created in response to the needs of parents. The Tree design is unique to SiMBA, and each individual leaf can be engraved with a personal message to honour a baby. Its aim is to offer bereaved parents the opportunity to honour their baby in a simple, quiet way and will effectively grow as leaves are added.

The Tree of Tranquillity is not just for the newly bereaved but also parents who sadly lost their baby years ago and were perhaps provided with little or no recognition of their babys existence. The Tree will provide the means to express a private and public declaration in memory of the lost hopes and dreams for the baby. It is a beautiful symbol of remembrance.
