A care home in Eastbourne has received signatures from more than 30 celebrities, including Boris Johnson and David Jason, who are showing their support for dementia care.

Famous faces from entertainment, sports and politics have contributed to Signature at Eastbourne’s five-month letter writing campaign to inspire residents and visitors.

The home in Upper King's Drive, which provides residential, nursing, dementia and respite care to 80 residents, embarked on ‘a signature for Signature’ to get famous faces to send in their autograph as a symbol of solidarity and support for the care home.

The activity was designed to ensure the wall was filled with photos and letters ready for September, which marks World Alzheimer’s Awareness Month – in which the home was fundraising for its charity partner Alzheimer’s Research UK.
