What is Jeans

What is Jeans for Genes?

Jeans for Genes is a major fundraiser of the Children's Medical Research Institute.
This includes Jeans for Genes Day, events, exhibitions and other FUNdraising events throughout the year.

Chances are you probably know someone who has a genetic disease, because one in twenty children are born with some form of genetic fault. There are children with leukaemia, muscular dystrophy, genetic defects and many other disorders. The scientists at the Children’s Medical Research Institute are working to try to prevent these diseases before they occur in our children, or where that is not possible to develop better treatments.

Jeans for Genes Day



It’s so much fun and real easy to get involved. It’s a day where everyone can wear jeans and simply make a donation or buy a badge, whilst supporting a great cause: helping today’s scientist for tomorrow’s children.

You can be a Jeans for Genes Day Genie

Genies help out on Jeans for Genes Day in your workplace, factories, schools and out on the streets. They help to promote the event, collect donations and take care of anything else that makes the day fun. They also raise money by selling Jeans for Genes
Day products.

Remember some of the styles we have worn from denim dungarees, to the stone-washed high-waisted jeans that almost sat under your bust! Luckily we have moved on with the styles and washes.

We have also moved on from at one time, Levi’s being the only brand we could be seen in. Although branded jeans are still strong sellers and celebs craving J brand or Citizens of Humanity, the high street stores now have great ranges at affordable prices.

Before we explore trying to find the perfect pair for your body type, remember the two Fs when you’re on the hunt for jeans: Find a pair that Fits and Flatters
