Story

We are fundraising to bring a SiMBA Tree of Tranquillity to Stirling. The Campaign image shows our recently unveiled Tayside Tree of Tranquillity in Dundee Botanic Gardens, we would love to be able to install the same beautiful symbol of remembrance for all our babies in Stirling. We want to make this a very special place for families to visit, so in addition to the cost of fundraising for a tree and plaque we are also fundraising for a beautiful bespoke bench.

The SiMBA Tree of Tranquillity is a stunning hand crafted, life sized copper sculpture which has 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.
