Introducing the very fabulous Jeans for Genes Interns!

Our volunteers are a vital part of our team in the lead up to Jeans for Genes Day, making sure you have everything the need to organise your big fundraising day on Friday 7^th October – be it T-shirts, posters, stickers or collection boxes!

Would you like to join our summer team? We still have a limited number of internships for August and September. Get in touch to find out more 

Here is what a few of our past interns have told us:

Eleanor Dandy - “Jeans for Genes is a very welcoming and warm charity and has taught me the importance of gaining maximum revenue with minimum resources.  I took this experience on to a permanent role in the charity sector”

Clare Doughty- “ I’ve gained a good insight into the role of telemarketing and the value it can bring to increasing awareness for charities, an understanding that I will carry with me in future work,”

Ina Linge-Granger-“The skills I learned, from data input to customer service, will definitely be useful in the future”

Asha Joneja- “My time with Jeans for Genes taught me valuable team-working skills.  I gained an understanding of the incredible work that Jeans for Genes do and am so proud to have been part of this”

Thank you to this year’s interns Chidinma, Leanne, Zahra, Rosina, Daniel & Lianne for all their hard work.

Something for the weekend

It’s almost the weekend, to get us in the mood Donna matches the Jeans for Genes T-shirt with a more casual pair of jeans!

Donna says “For a more casual weekend look, try teaming your Jeans for Genes Tee with a pair of slouchy trousers like the Current/Elliot Captain Trouser. I love them because they are such a great shape for summer and look super relaxed with a cute T shirt”

Create your look; buy your Jeans for Genes T-shirt today!

Working it!

This is a perfect look for when you need your jeans, and your new Jeans for Genes tee to look super smart for the office.

Donna recommends that you go for a classic look with these MiH Paris jeans which are comfortable and go with everything. Donna told us “My Jeans for Genes Tee looks perfect with these jeans as the gold print design complements the gold detail on the back pockets. I love red nails to finish this look off”
