What is Movember

It's more than a moustache.

Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about. Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent.

Men’s health is in crisis

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.

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. "We know what works for men – and what doesn’t."

Changing the face of men's health

We exist to help men live happier, healthier, longer lives – this is what drives every single one of our 1,250 men’s health projects.

"In everything we do, we strive to be transparent and accountable. We report thoroughly on each project so that our Mo Bros and Mo Sisters can see how their support is changing the lives of men around the world."

Want to help?

From Monday 11th November - Friday 22nd November, we'd like to ask you to either send us your goofiest moustache selfie to help raise awareness for men's mental health or simply donate £1 to our Movember campaign.
