Millwall Community Trust is proud to be supporting Movember.
Movember is an annual international event in November where people, particularly men, grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
The movement encourages conversation and action to help men live happier, healthier, and longer lives by funding research and support programmes.
Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.
A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.
Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.
