The Wellness Suite
Work at Unity Place, Santander, or co-work with x+why? Lucky you: you’ve got front-row access to our Wellness Suite, located on the 7th floor. The space itself includes a reception area, a conventional gym, dedicated class space and serviced consultation rooms.
Find your pocket of peace in a busy week in a setting where you can breathe, stretch and reset. From anxiety-easing workshops to grounding breathing techniques, this soothing space is designed for slowing the world down. Pop in for a morning refresh, drop by for an after-work wind-down, or make it your new lunchtime ritual.
The Wellbeing Suite is accessible to building users only.
Events for everyone.
Each month at Unity Place, you’ll find a diverse programme of wellbeing events - from restorative breathwork workshops to experiences designed to connect you with a community of like-minded people.
Gather, Eat, Connect.
Your lunch break is more than a bite to eat. It’s a tiny rebellion against burnout. Stretch your legs, step away from the screen and give your brain a moment to relax and recharge.
Of course, food is important - so you'll be wanting to head to the Urban Food Market, where the colours are bright and the nourishing options plentiful. At Unity Place we promote a culture of positive eating and nurturing self-care through balanced and sustainable menus.
Take the opportunity to put the phone down and connect with friends and colleagues. Lunchtime catch-ups are the perfect way to break up your day!
Supporting the local community
The Community Hall at Unity Place is designed to support those in the local community with a new project or idea that supports wellbeing, education, culture or entrepreneurship. For those that meet the criteria, it's completely free to hire. Gather your people, share your ideas and watch something great begin. Big things start right here.
Spark conversation
Craving some real-life connection after a long spell of working from home? We’ve got you. With a bright, open layout and plenty of places to perch, Unity Place is made for mingling and sparking conversation. Grab a coffee at the Santander Work Café for a relaxed networking opportunity or settle into a co-working spot at x+why with a space teeming with ideas, energy and innovators.
Moments of self-care
Self-care is all about small, meaningful moments that help you feel brighter, calmer and more like yourself. At Unity Place, we help you do just that. Whether it's popping into ROK Barbers for a fresh trim or settling into a cosy corner at Rye’s Deli and taking time out with a pastry and a good book. Whichever way you treat yourself, expect your stress to go down and your energy levels to go up.
Try something new
Looking to learn a new skill or meet like-minded people? Whether you're uncovering a hidden knack for arts and crafts or putting your brainpower to the test at one of our quiz nights, exploring something different is a brilliant way to energise your routine. Our monthly events and workshops are designed to bring people together, help you learn new skills and take some time to flex your creativity.
Our wellbeing ‘Ways to be Well’ is an evidence-based health and wellness programme that aims to demystify conflicting advice surrounding our physical and mental health with scientific fact; making it easy for people to understand what ‘being well’ really means.
At Unity Place we promote a culture of positive eating and nurturing self-care through our fitness spaces and catering menus rich in whole foods, seasonal vegetables and fresh fruit. We have a plant-forward philosophy, alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish and dairy and healthy snacks. We also support getting active, with superb facilities that include a Wellbeing suite (for building users) and support for active travel in Milton Keynes.
Sustainable travel
At Unity Place we support Milton Keynes Council’s ‘Get Around MK’ initiative to promote sustainable travel for our city that’s smarter, healthier, and greener. We are within 200m of Milton Keynes Central train station, we have secured cycle parking and electric vehicle charging points for building users.
Active travel includes walking, running and cycling. Milton Keynes has over 200 miles of shared-use paths, known as Redways. This traffic-free network covers most of the city estates with some Redways extending out to connect to the older towns. A network of 13 Redway Super Routes closely follows the grid roads across the city centre creating direct routes for cycle commuters.
Bring your own bicycle to Unity Place, or hire a Santander cycle by registering online with the Nextbike app. Then it’s as easy as tapping your smartphone at a dock to get cycling.
