Jeans for Genes

Jeans for Genes

Jeans for Genes raises funds for research into serious genetic disorders affecting thousands of children, as well as valuable support services and advice for families.

In the UK, one baby in every 33 is born with a genetic disorder or birth defect - that's one born every 30 minutes whose life could be affected. In 2006, Jeans for Genes will be benefiting 10 national charities, including Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, SPARKS and WellChild.

Which charities can I support?

Donations can be made to any UK registered national/local charity or recognised good cause – including places of worship, schools, and foodbanks.

You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations, and you can easily change the amount or nominated causes at any time. 

If your chosen cause is not listed on this site, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their registered charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.

If you’d like to make a difference close to home, you can choose to support University of Manchester students and research, or donate to Manchester Museum. Just look for 'The University of Manchester' on the drop-down menu when making your donation.
