What is Movember?

Movember is an annual international event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and male suicide. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event.

Raising awareness of mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer has never been more important. These three potential life threatening conditions are  global issues of concern and Movember is the planet’s biggest health initiative ever, for men. Men can’t do this alone and women can get involved too as mates, colleagues, partners, siblings and parents.

You can grow a moustache or if you have one already do something different with it using a comb, wax, sartorial style and flair. If you don't have a moustache you can make your own  very fancy moustache. Get creative and arty or cook up a dish or bake some buns and stick a moustache on them!

It’s all about having fun, making space to talk about health issues and showing your support to men who might need that little extra by being listened to and their health concerns taken seriously.

We can all remember, remember this Movember!
