The Halo has been installed to strengthen and support our beautiful Inverclyde Tree of Tranquillity

The ‘Halo’ is a bespoke handmade circle of steel specially designed to encircle the Inverclyde Tree of Tranquillity to protect, raise awareness, and enhance the Tree of Tranquility site. We would like to say a huge thank you to Inverclyde Council for funding the halo with support from McGills Buses, Amazon, and the Co-op Gourock Shore Street, Gourock Cardwell Road & Greenock Eldon Street.

The Tree of Tranquillity has now been installed in the grounds of Gourock Park in Inverclyde

Following successful fundraising we are delighted to confirm that our 9th Tree of Tranquillity has now been installed in the grounds of Gourock Park

The Inverclyde Tree of Tranquillity was installed on the grounds of Gourock Park on the 28th October and they are open 7 days a week from 0900-1500 (with the exception of Christmas Day and Boxing Day).

We would like to thank everyone at Inverclyde Council who has supported this project including Councillor Stephen McCabe, Leader, Inverclyde Council and their Policy & Resources Committee who donated £10,000; Councilor Lynne Quinn, Kenny Lang, Environmental Services Manager and George Evans, Allan Walker and their team in Grounds Services who landscaped the area so beautifully for us.
We would also like to thank everyone who has fundraised to support this project including :

Karyn Jenkins who has raised over £3363.74 through her pop up shop and Ladies Day to support the Inverclyde Tree of Tranquillity and an additional £961.25 to support SiMBAs core services. Karyn has also helped to generate a huge amount of awareness for this project (see news links below) all in memory of her daughter Sophie Louise
