Dwelling Places (DP) began in 2002 and is a Christian NGO dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of street children, abandoned babies and high-risk slum families in Uganda. DP follows a holistic programme to restore and rebuild the children and families in its care. The ‘Restore’ programme is dedicated to rescuing vulnerable children and rehabilitating them through healthcare, education and reconciliation with their families. We are dedicated to helping families welcome their children back into the home and enable alumni to develop and enjoy a sustainable way of life after leaving Dwelling Places.

Jeans for Genes is the annual fundraising campaign for Genetic Disorders UK, the national charity that supports children affected by a genetic disorder. The money raised provide grants for day-to-day support, equipment, respite and events which bring together affected children and their families.

There are between 4,000 and 6,000 diagnosed genetic disorders. It is estimated that one in 25 children is affected and therefore 30,000 babies and children are newly diagnosed in the UK each year.
