We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes.

About the project

In 2020, Movember and The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) with additional funds from Gillette (for the UK and Germany only) launched a Grant Program across seven countries (United Kingdom, Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and Germany) focused on veterans and first responders' mental health and wellbeing.  

Based on the findings of a 2019 Movember commissioned scoping review that identified a gap in the published literature showing effectiveness of current programs,  funding was provided to support scalable mental health and/or suicide prevention programs that can be rigorously evaluated, use a gendered lens, focus on a broad range of mental health outcomes (i.e., not just PTSD), and a wide range of traumatic and non-traumatic (organizational and operational) stressors. 

A UK Police Force was funded to implement and evaluate a "Mental Wellbeing & Trauma Resilience Program" receiving GBP 260,080 in project funding.

Project Description: This Program is a wrap-around package of 5 projects aimed to introduce and enhance early intervention and prevention innovation in policing. There are 3 psychoeducation modules, along with a family website to support families of police officers.

The wellbeing library was launched and is managed by the police College. Peer Support Training sessions are offered to  Wellbeing Volunteers, including crisis intervention. The in-house IT team is developing the ME APP; and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) training is being piloted.
