A Nelson-based charity has teamed up with a Burnley video production company to help spread some Christmas joy.
Positive Action in the Community (PAC) partnered with Proper Video to make a Christmas music video to raise awareness of the support they offer and encourage people to donate to help those who need their support.
PAC provide accommodation and support to people affected by youth homelessness, domestic abuse, and poor mental health.
Around this time of year, they run a variety of campaigns to raise funds and collect gifts and donations so the people they support can have a festive Christmas period.
Proper Video has been creating videos for PAC over the past two years, and have been working hard planning the music video with the charity’s chief executive, Claire Bennett, and partnership and community engagement officer Leroy Philbrook.
Aidan Oldroyd, of Proper Video, is the lead singer of the Christmas song and will also be filming and editing the video.

Ms Bennett said: “When Aidan approached us with the idea of creating a Christmas music video, we just couldn’t say no.
“It provides the ideal opportunity to raise awareness with those that want to help us share the gift of Christmas with others.
“We really hope everyone enjoys the song and video, and of course shares it far and wide.
“We would also like to say a huge thank you to Proper Video for allowing us to be part of this with the sole purpose of benefitting our local communities.”
The video conveys Aidan’s alter ego ‘Ten Bob’ becoming a stand-in Santa Claus when Santa is unable to fly his sleigh.
It showcases all the work PAC do around this time of year, ensuring everyone gets a little bit of Christmas.
The video was released on December 1 and is available to watch on both PAC and Proper Video’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
