HOW refreshing to read the story (LET, August 2) of Sam Stone, owner of "Movers" from Darwen, who is offering used furniture to the homeless.

It makes a chance to see a business owner giving something back into the community rather than just taking!

Well done, Mr Stone, and let us hope this action prompts other business people to look around, count their blessings and see how they can help those less fortunate than themselves.
