A group of neighbours ensured a Paisley street was given a Christmas boost this year. 

They lifted the spirits of the entire neighbourhood in Roffey Park Road with a Christmas light switch on organised last night.

The cheerful event saw mulled wine, mince pies and sweets for the children - and even saw Santa Claus stroll down the road. 

It was ticketed £5 per person with all the funds raised going towards the Renfrewshire Foodbank.

However, coronavirus restrictions and social distancing rules were followed. 

During lockdown, a group of neighbours, Karen, Helen, Pogie and Tracey, helped raise £3,500 for the Accord Hospice and The Prince's Trust through a street bingo in March. 

The event was organised to keep the street's spirits high during the first lockdown restrictions. 

Funds raised were matched by Morrisons - donating a total of £7000 to the charities.

Helen's son, Jonathan Irvine, shared the videos of the group "making the best of the world we live in" on social media.
