STAFF at Bolton Town Hall's One Stop Shop are aiming to raise money by ditching their executive suits for jeans.

On Friday, October 1 the shop staff will donate £1 to wear jeans to work as part of the national Jeans for Genes Appeal.

Proceeds will go towards eight 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 genetic disorders.
