TEN REASONS TO DO JEANS FOR GENES DAY
Make your Jeans for Genes Day a huge success. Our 'ten reasons’ will get everyone behind you.
- It’s fun and simple to organise. All you need to do is ask everyone to wear their jeans and make a donation
- Charity and community work looks good for your Ofsted report
- 1 in 25 children in the UK has a genetic disorder
- It’s great publicity for your school in your local paper
- £2,000 will pay for a specialist nurse to support families affected by genetic disorders
- The kids will think it’s great, but it won’t disrupt the school day
- Our interactive educational materials are curriculum-relevant and will educate and engage children in science lessons, PSHE and assembly
- Jeans for Genes Day encourages understanding and acceptance of the differences between us and the jeans the children wear are a reminder of the genes they're raising money for
- It creates motivational, friendly fundraising competition between classes, year groups or even local schools
- Jeans for Genes Day supports very small charities get their voices heard, and helps them to provide vital services for families living with rare conditions.
