Your support this Movember
We lose 60 men to suicide each hour, every hour across the world.
This November, we will be throwing our weight behind the Movember Campaign again to help raise awareness and vital funds to support three important men’s health issues: mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Find out more and get involved in our Fifa tournament, sports and societies quiz and shave it off activities by visiting our events page.
We’re calling on all of you to get involved and join our challenge - it doesn’t matter if you want to get involved by yourself or as part of a sports club, society, or group - everyone is welcome.
There are four main ways you can support Movember with us:
Grow
Grow a moustache for the 30 days of November and encourage people to sponsor you to raise money for Movember! Already got some facial hair? Do a ‘Shavedown’ for a fresh start to kick off Movember! Share your pictures with us on @TeamLJMU and @JohnMooresSU and we’ll amplify your efforts.
Mo Sistas
Mo Sistas are for the women who understand the importance of men taking care of their health and want to show their support with a moustache too! The challenge is to draw on a fake moustache each day to show your solidarity and support for the campaign. Alternatively, get creative with your ‘stache! See what you can find around the house, make a crafty moustache and tag is in your pictures at @TeamLJMU and @JohnMooresSU
Move
Move this Movember by running or walking, running, swimming or biking 60km over the month for the 60 men that take their life every hour across the world.
Host a Virtual Mo Event
LJMU societies and groups - why not host a virtual Mo Event and raise some vital funds for Movember?
Hosting is all about having a good time for a good cause. Consider a Zoom quiz, bingo or a movie night with your society and charge a small fee for the festivities, then donate the money you raise to our dedicated Movember page.

Movember is making significant change across four key areas:
1. Education: helping men and boys to stay mentally healthy, build strong social connections and take action early when times are tough.
2. Conversations: A world where men and boys are comfortable having conversations about the big things in life.
3. Services: working to make services designed with the needs of men in mind.
4. Funding: putting all money raised towards vital research and treatments for men’s health.
Thank you in advance for your support.
