Why does it exist?

  • Genetic disorders collectively affect many people: in the UK it’s estimated that 1 in 25 children is born with a genetic condition.

  • Many of these conditions are rare, under‐funded, and carry significant lifelong impacts. Jeans for Genes Day helps raise funds that go into research, support services, and grants for projects benefiting those affected.

  • The campaign also helps raise awareness — making genetic conditions more visible, reducing stigma, educating communities.
