Movember: Supporting Men’s Health<\/span><\/h1>\n

Calling all our Mo Bros! It\u2019s that time of year again. We want you to embrace your facial hair and grow a moustache for a month. Movember is the global phenomenon that has put men\u2019s health firmly on the agenda and hair firmly on their faces.<\/p>\n

History<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a movement that started 20 years ago in Australia when two mates met up for a beer and joked about reviving the out-of-fashion moustache. Why not combine their challenge with raising money for charity, they asked themselves. And why not make it a men\u2019s health charity? After all, men are notoriously reticent in talking about their health \u2013 mental or physical.<\/p>\n

The movement was born, and since then campaigns across the world have been fund-raised for prostate and testicular cancer research and treatment, poor mental health and physical inactivity. Perhaps more importantly, it has created a fundamental shift in the way we talk about men\u2019s health and asks the questions that were previously unuttered. Why, for example, do Black men have twice the risk of prostate cancer diagnosis than other men? Why are first responders (emergency service workers and military veterans) at increased risk of poor mental health and suicide? Why do men find it more difficult than women to make social connections and how have the COVID-19 lockdowns affected that?<\/p>\n

Get Involved this Movember in Supporting Men’s Health<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are all sorts of ways you can support Movember. You can grow a moustache, of course, but you can also host a mo-ment \u2013 an event that raises awareness. You can fundraise at work or among classmates and friends. Or maybe you\u2019d like to buy some Mo merch.<\/p>\n

However you do it, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll mo your own way.<\/p>\n
