Movember 2025: Time to Get Ready for Men’s Health Month
November isn’t just for moustaches. It’s a time to focus on men’s health — mental wellbeing, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Movember helps men take action, start conversations, and make small changes that save lives.
Here’s what you need to know before November.
Why Men’s Health Matters
- Men die on average 4.9 year earlier than women. The reasons are largely preventable.
- Men are less likely to ask for help or see a GP when they notice symptoms.
- Movember focuses on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Small steps now can make a big difference later.
How You Can Get Involved
- Grow a Moustache: Shave on November 1st and let it grow.
- Move for Mental Health: Walk or run 60 km during the month.
- Host a Mo-Ment: Gather friends, family, or colleagues to raise awareness or funds.
- Mo Your Own Way: Fundraise or take action your own way.
Quick Actions for Men’s Health
