I FOUND the letter from Mr Wormald (BEN, Aug 9) and from Mrs Stubbs (BEN, Aug 11) very interesting.

They are obviously frustrated by the seeming indifference of local firms who refuse to contribute money towards Smithills Bands and Bolton Sea Cadets.

I know Carl Chapman and Co sponsors Bolton Mets rugby team, Leigh's Paints fund students through college and Hardman's Funeral Service supports Bromley Cross Boys football.

Businesses don't have unlimited resources and must be allowed to decide what or whom they support without being blacklisted.
