A LEIGH company of chartered accountants denim-strated their charity fund raising abilities by supporting the annual national Jeans for Genes day.
Bradshawgate-based Jackson Stephen partners and staff threw off their suits, donned their denims and donated £2 or more each to the appeal.
They raised a total of £128 and the proceeds will help national charities, including Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign to fund vital genetic research to help alleviate and cure childhood disorders.
Marketing manager Claire Pilkington said "It's a great campaign to support and through our organisation's backing of the event we will be helping to give children affected by genetic disorders real hope for the future".
This appeal brings the company's charity total so far this year to £598, a step closer to the annual fund raising goal of £2,000.
