Swindon is facing a mental health crisis, with self-harm admissions 80% higher than the national average. The Sun Room will provide a restorative, inclusive space offering workshops, mindfulness sessions, creative therapies, and mental health resources. Inspired by the ‘5 Ways of Well-being’ framework, and delivered in partnership with Lift Psychology Swindon and Swindon Mind, it will support positive mental health habits. As part of the railway village restoration project funded by Historic England, the Sun Room aims to improve community well-being, promote preventive care, foster connections, reduce crises, and raise awareness around mental health.
