Jeans for genes Day

To support the appeal, members of staff and Councillors have been invited to throw out their usual dress code, wear jeans or casual clothing to work for the day and make a donation to the fund. As a further incentive the Leader of the Council, Graham Gubby has agreed that should the Council raise 250 or more he is happy to be "dressed up" on another occasion '“ the more money, the greater transformation!

The appeal benefits eight national charities, including Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and the Haemophilia Society. Proceeds help to fund vital research into genetic disorders affecting children and provide valuable support services for families across the UK.
