Students and staff at Futures Community College raised £385.62 when they ran a series of events for the annual Jeans for Genes Day on Friday 2nd October.
Many students and staff at the Southend-based school swopped their usual school attire for jeans, donating £1 for the privilege. A staff-v-student basketball match was played with the students winning 26-20, whilst a sponsored silence and cake sale were just some of the other activities which took place to raise cash for the charity, that helps children with genetic disorders.
