Welcome to Jeans for Genes Grant Programme

Every year more than 30,000 babies are born with a genetic disorder in the UK. The Jeans for Genes Day / Genetic Disorders UK grant programme is open to UK charities and support groups working to support children and families affected by genetic disorders.

During 2011 and 2012 we will be developing a new charity, Genetic Disorders UK (GDUK). Learn more about how GDUK will support individuals and families affected by genetic disorders.
