Residents in Clifton in Nottingham say they've been shocked and are grateful after secretly getting envelopes containing a hundred pounds through their letterboxes.

The neighbours say the money was posted on Christmas Eve - but that they have no clue who posted them.

The money was left with a message which simply read it was " a random act of kindness".
