It's Movember!




Movember Global


The Movember Foundation is a global non-profit organization that is responsible for running the Movember event each year. The Movember event raises awareness around men's health issues and funds for carefully selected charitable beneficiary partners including The Prostate Cancer Charity.

While Movember is relatively new in the UK, it started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 as a challenge to bring back the moustache. In 2004 the campaign evolved to become a fundraising event for prostate cancer, raising AUD$55,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Since then Movember has expanded globally, having raised more than £30 million for its beneficiary partners in Australia, New Zealand, UK, US, Canada, Spain and Ireland. As a direct result of these campaigns, men's awareness of health issues has improved with the campaign spreading health messages directly to millions around the world.

The Movember Foundation’s head office is based in Melbourne, where the idea for Movember was first conceived. Movember now has additional offices located in America and Europe.
