Celebrities including our wonderful ambassador, Spiderman actor Tom Holland, Hollywood A-listers Zendaya and Olivia Colman, world-famous children’s Illustrators Axel Scheffler and Rob Biddulph, footballer Alfie Gilchrist, and TV personalities including Kirsty Gallacher, Angellica Bell, Andi Peters and Zoe Hardman have generously donated their time and skills to paint pebbles for us. Each pebble has been personally signed by the celebrity who painted it and they also come with an authentication certificate.

Our talented celebrity supporters painted pebbles to help shine a light on the support we provide for families who have a child with cancer or another life-challenging condition and to help us raise vital funds so we can continue to be there for families that need us. A total of 24 beautiful pebbles are up for grabs in this one-of-a-kind auction.

CBeebies star Andy Day, actors Brian Blessed, Kenneth Branagh and Rose Ayling-Ellis, Broadcaster Carole Malone, TV Chef Chris Bavin, children’s Illustrator Chris Chatterton, and Paralympian Ellie Simmonds also joined the campaign, painting pebbles for us.  Comedians Lee Mack and Josh Widdicombe, professional ice skater Robin Cousins, sports presenter Steve Sidwell, Astronaut Tim Peake and the brilliant west end star Kim Ismay also decorated special pebbles.

In case you are wondering ‘why pebbles?’ Painted pebbles can mean a lot to children that are supported by Momentum, in fact, we’ve given away more than 600. We found that children visiting our respite cabins enjoyed decorating pebbles and leaving them in the beach hut for others to see and this inspired us to do more. Now, when a child is diagnosed, a personalised, decorated pebble is given to them.

Our celebrity pebble auction is now LIVE and you have until 11am on 11 October to place online bids. There will be a live auction at Windsor Auctions in Windsor, Berkshire, on 11 October, where bidders can come along and make bids for the celebrity pebbles in person.
