Our Christmas Message Garden highlights all the positive things that we can celebrate this Christmas, despite the Covid restrictions. We invite anyone to write a message in a bauble and hang it in our Garden. So far, we have messages of love, thanks, appreciation, and remembrance.

You can visit the Garden at 23 Pinegarth, Ponteland, Newcastle NE20 9LF and pick up a cardboard bauble or plastic globe, then create your own message or decoration and return it to our Garden. The materials will be available to collect at any time between 9am and 7pm from the end of the driveway. At the same time, if you’re able, please make a donation to Eating Stones Fund, so we can carry on our work to provide healthcare in deprived overseas communities.

If you visit the Garden you can light one of our candles in a bauble (battery operated) and see if you can spot the baubles containing teddy bear key workers. If you don’t live nearby, you can add a message to your donation on this page and we’ll hang a bauble for you. Our target is 300 messages.
