Students and staff from the Academy of Commercial Enterprise made Jeans for Genes the theme of tutorials for a whole week.

Students took part in various fun activities and together with staff have raised over £160 for the national charity Jeans for Genes; which cares and supports children and families affected by genetic disorders and funds vital research into the causes and potential cures of these conditions.

As well as being involved in lots of other activities throughout the week, staff and students paid £1 to wear jeans to work and took part in a quiz. Lorna Smart (Workforce Development Coordinator) and her team won first prize of a bottle of wine for the staff quiz, while Naomi Scriven and David Quinn won a meal for two in the Waterfront Restaurant as student quiz winners.
