Our Work

Everything we do is to stop men dying too young

The state of men’s health is in crisis. Men experience worse longer-term health than women and die on average six years earlier. Prostate cancer rates will double in the next 15 years. Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50. Three quarters of suicides are men. Poor mental health leads to half a million men taking their own life every year. That’s one every minute.

Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing this health crisis and it’s not being talked about.

We can’t afford to stay silent.

“In truth, there are a lot of blokes out there doing it tough, but the tragedy is, we don’t talk about it.”

“I've worked in hospitals and clinics throughout my career. In those settings it’s often difficult to discuss men’s health in a down-to-earth way.”

The Movember Foundation is uniquely placed to address the crisis at a global level. We’re funding ground-breaking projects all over the world, engaging with men where they are, to understand what works best, to help make change happen sooner.

Our goals are big, but the impact of doing nothing is bigger. We need to act.

By 2030, we’ll reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.

 

What does this future look like? Half as many men dying from prostate and testicular cancer. Half as many men suffering serious side effects as a result of their treatment. A quarter fewer men dying from suicide.

Help us get there.

“I'd like to imagine my son growing up in a world where prostate cancer can be cured. In a world where the way Dad freely talked about his health and his regular health checks isn’t unique, but the norm.”

Our strategy in three focus areas.

By prioritising the funding of three of the biggest health issues faced by men we ensure that we’re having long-term, global impact.

Prostate cancer

Testicular cancer

Mental health and suicide prevention

We’re the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale.

We’re doing what others can’t. We bring leading experts together from around the world to collaborate on solutions that will fundamentally change the way men are treated and supported.
We know what works for men. By focusing our efforts in three priority areas we ensure that each project we fund is a step towards our vision for the future.

This is how we’ll win the fight.

  • Give men the facts
  • Change behaviour for the better
  • Create services that work for men
  • Bring the brightest minds together
  • Listen to the community and advocate for men

“Three years after my diagnosis, I’ve enjoyed my first year of marriage, run my first marathon, realised my dream to become a firefighter, and now I’m expecting my first child in November. I’m determined to never take a day for granted.”

Innovating on a global scale.

We cannot achieve our goals without building a movement with partners at all levels of government, research and civil society. This has to happen globally, with results shared across borders to extend our reach. We're creating innovative solutions, using new ideas and new technology to solve long-standing problems.

Ensuring funding goes where it's needed most.

In addition to global initiatives, we fund a diverse range of country-specific and local projects, always ensuring that knowledge gained is shared onwards.
We report on all the initiatives we fund to hold ourselves accountable and to ensure that we're always assessing the success of those initiatives, learning, and improving.

Translating knowledge into action.

We make the most of research findings to accelerate new ideas into practice, share information and encourage other organisations to do the same.
