Charity in celebrity postcards mystery

Revitalise - which organises respite holidays - needs help to identify five mystery authors

A disabled charity has a mystery on its hands.

Revitalise recently launched Wish You Were Here, a campaign to highlight the importance of holidays - fronted by the charity’s vice president Dame Judi Dench.

The campaign is inviting celebrities to send the charity a doodle or some words about a treasured holiday memory on specially designed postcards.

All the postcards received so far, from celebrities such as Sir Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Christopher Eccleston, Warwick Davis and Zoe Wanamaker, have been signed – with the exception of four.

Revitalise is now calling on the celebrity authors of the postcards in question (plus a further card where the signature is illegible) to come forward and claim credit for their contributions.

The mystery postcards can be seen on Revitalise’s website.

Chief executive Chris Simmonds said: “Here at Revitalise we love a mystery, and all we know about these unsigned cards is that each one was contributed by a celebrity. So who are the famous five?

“If we can’t put names to the postcards we won’t be able to auction them, so there’s a lot at stake.”
