The 'Monday's Little Buddies' and 'Friday's Little Friends' have recently benefited from a generous donation from gentoo, Sunderland, with each receiving £100 to help with the purchase of outdoor equipment for their respective groups. The groups are voluntary and the organisers are local mums who are said to be delighted with the windfall.

Ed. Maybe the 'gen' in gentoo stands for Generous, in any event it was a nice gesture. To view gentoo's Sunderland web site, just click on the gentoo icon at the top of this page.
