A total of 24 pebbles are up for grabs in this one-of-a-kind auction which will raise much-needed funds to help Momentum be there to support more families with seriously ill children.

Footballer Alfie Gilchrist, and TV personalities including Kirsty Gallacher, Angellica Bell, Andi Peters, and Zoe Hardman have also taken time out of their busy schedules to support the campaign.

Each pebble has been personally signed by the celebrity who painted it, and they also come with an authentication certificate.

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 have also painted pebbles. 

Designs by comedians Lee Mack and Josh Widdicombe, professional ice skater Robin Cousins, sports presenter Steve Sidwell, Astronaut Tim Peake, and the west end star Kim Ismay complete the collection of names that have decorated pebbles for the auction.

Pebbles have a strong significance to many families supported by Momentum. The charity found that children visiting their respite cabins enjoyed decorating pebbles and leaving them in the beach hut for others to see and this inspired them to do more.

Now, when a child is diagnosed, a personalised, decorated pebble is given to them.

Bianca Effemey OBE, Founder and CEO of Momentum Children's Charity said: "A heartfelt thank you to every celebrity supporter, sports personality, illustrator and all the other high-profile individuals who have taken time out of their busy schedules to support our pebble campaign.

"It touches my heart that so many incredible names have created some truly beautiful works of art for Momentum."

 She continued: By helping us in this way, celebrities are shining a light on the support we provide for families who have a child who is seriously ill, while also helping to raise vital funds so we can continue to be there for families that need us.

"Take a look at our auction and if you can, please bid on one of these special pebbles."

Momentum's comedy night is welcome to everyone, whether it be families using the charity's services, local businesses or local residents.

Founded in 2004, Momentum Children's Charity supports families across London, Surrey, and Sussex whose children are facing cancer or a life-challenging condition.

The charity partners with local hospitals to offer personally tailored support to the entire family through its family support workers, both in hospital and at home.

It works in tandem with the NHS but fills in the gaps that the NHS has due to restrictions on it by offering respite to families, day trips for the children, counselling sessions, and therapies.
