We need your help to raise £3million to fund research, much needed equipment and those trips and treats that can transform the lives of children and their families.

This year we want you to GENErate in 2008!  And as our theme for this year is 'through the generations' we want the whole family to be involved. 

Families are not only who we inherit our genes from, it's their love and support which is needed when a child is diagnosed with a genetic disorder.

So Get the GENErations to GENErate lots of money for GENEtic disorders!  (Do you see what we’ve done there?!)

Boy with jam tarts Bake and sell yummy jam tarts!

All you need to get you started is a fundraising pack and a bit of imagination!

You could hold a GENEral knowledge GENEration quiz, get the JEANeration look and have a disco in the flares your mum would have worn, or bake and sell family favourites with our recipes from celebrity chefs like James Martin and Sophie Grigson.

We’ve tailor-made fundraising ideas for wherever you’ll be holding your Jeans for Genes Day, whether you're at a nursery, a primary school, a secondary school or at your workplace or club!

Just choose from the menu on the left and register for your FREE fundraising pack!

Get involved and GENErate in 2008!
