The Tranquillity Zone

The Tranquillity Zone started as a community service project in 1998 and is based at the Health Hydro in Swindon. Tranquillity Zones provide a relaxing environment created with flowers, candles and soft furnishings, a programme of words and music and, above all, a special atmosphere where people can reflect and relax. The Tranquillity Zone is described as "an oasis of calm and well-being for the body, mind and soul" and is a place where guests can enjoy a few tranquil moments in a specially prepared setting. Tranquillity Zones have been set up at Swindon Borough Council, in local businesses, the local hospital and various other charity organisations. In the first 4 years approximately 3,500 people have attended the Tranquillity Zones.

"An oasis of calm and well-being for
body, mind and soul"

The Swindon Youth Empowerment Project has built on the success of the Tranquillity Zones and has developed a special programme for young people which includes visualisation, relaxation, stories and music, to help them relax and reflect.
