Charity Registration No. 1062206

Jeans for Genes

One in 33 babies in the UK is born with a genetic disorder - that's equivalent to one in every school class. Although individually these conditions are rare, together they account for more than half of all childhood deaths. The money raised by Jeans for Genes funds care and support services for children and families affected by genetic disorders, as well as research into the causes and potential cures of these conditions. Our major fundraising event is Jeans for Genes Day, when millions of adults and children across the country throw out their uniforms and make a small donation to wear their jeans to work or school.

My story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Together we are the marketing team at Jeans for Genes. We see firsthand what a fantastic and worthwhile charity this is and we wanted to go that extra mile (or 5km to be precise!) to make a even bigger difference to the children and families affected by genetic disorders. Especially in this current climate we really need your help so read on, be inspired and PLEASE dig deep.

Who we are (and what we do)
Jeans for Genes, the children’s charity that raises money on Jeans for Genes Day to support families in the UK affected by genetic disorders and to fund research into the causes, treatments and cures of these disorders. In case you think that genetic disorders are so rare as to be less important than other conditions then I would like to give you just a few facts.

Why donate online?
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Peace and Love
Laura, Ruth and Lina (aka the Genie Girls)
