Jeans for Genes: helping children with genetic disorders

Raised to date

£30,000,000

Get involved!

Thank you very much for getting involved on Friday 3rd October and helping to change the world for children with genetic disorders.

Busy Bees Nursery, Weston Super Mare Celebrations at Busy Bees nursery in Weston Super Mare

You did all sorts of things on Friday 3rd October 2008 to help us raise millions of pounds for children and families who really need your help. 

You wore your jeans, like the lovely babies and toddlers at Busy Bees in Weston Super Mare, guys dressed as girls, girls dressed as guys and by the photos you've sent us, you consumed a lot of cake!

All the money you collected will fund research, much needed equipment and those trips and treats that can transform the lives of children and their families.

Staff at Gosport Borough Council "Pay more than £2 each and I'll dress up," said Jim at Gosport Borough Council in Hampshire.  They did - and he did!
Paying your money in

You've probably collected all of your donations by now.  If your colleagues are UK taxpayers, it really helps us if they can fill in their name and full address on your Gift Aid form. 

It won't cost them anything and it could add tens of thousands of pounds to the total you help us to raise!

To pay your money in, follow the instructions in your fundraising pack.  If you can't find your giro slip or you don't have one, please call our helpful team on freephone 0800 980 4800

If you don't have a slip, we won't know where the money has come from and we won't be able to say thank you!

Yet to do your Day?

Remember, you can hold your Jeans for Genes Day whenever is convenient for you, so if you've yet to start your fundraising, no problem! 

Join us in 2009

Once you get your fundraising breath back, we'd love you to register with us for Jeans for Genes Day 2009.  The Day will take place on Friday 2nd October so mark it in your diary!  You can register now and packs will be sent out to you next Summer.

Thank you again.  Keep an eye on our homepage and we'll update you on our total for 2008.
