The children at Langford Primary School in Oxfordshire
Make your Jeans for Genes Day a huge success. Our 'ten reasons’ will get everyone behind you.
1. It’s fun and simple to organise.
All you need to do is ask everyone to wear their jeans and make a donation
2. Charity and community work looks good for your Ofsted report.
3. An estimated 1 in 25 children in the UK is born with a genetic disorder.
4. It’s great publicity for your school in your local paper.
5. £250 pays for a child and their family to be seen at home by a clinical nurse specialist, an expert in their child's condition who can help with every aspect of their care.
6. The kids will think it’s great, but it won’t disrupt the school day.
7. Our interactive educational materials are curriculum-relevant and will educate and engage children in science lessons, PSHE and assembly.
8. 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.
9. It creates motivational, friendly fundraising competition between classes, year groups or even local schools.
10. Jeans for Genes helps very small charities get their voices heard, and helps them to provide crucial services for families living with extremely rare conditions.
