What is Movember?

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for prostate cancer.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants, known as Mo Bros, have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their Mo, raising money along the way to benefit men's health.

Where does the money go?

Funds raised through the Movember UK campaign go to Movember Europe which is a private company limited by guarantee in England and Wales (company no. 7275694) and a registered charity in England and Wales (charity no. 1137948) and in Scotland (charity no. SC041981).

The net funds are committed to programs supporting prostate cancer and testicular cancer initiatives run by Movember and through our men’s health partners The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research.

The Prostate Cancer Charity, the Institute of Cancer Research and Movember together ensure that funded programs are world-class and align with our strategic goals

How to get started

Register online as part of a team or as an individual and we will email you all the information you need to get started.

You can also hold your own Mo Party for your workplace, town, bar, campus, community group or club and we will send you a party pack to help you fundraise and raise awareness.

How can women get involved?

While growing a Mo is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (a woman who loves a Mo and wants to support men's health) do a lot of important work for Movember. Mo Sistas can get involved by:

-    Registering online, recruiting a team and raising money
-    Organising events i.e. Mo Parties
-    Making a donation to a Mo Bro
-    Supporting and showing love for the Mo
-    Attending the Gala Partés
-    Purchasing Movember merchandise

Mo recognition - a smile or nod of recognition for a Mo Bro’s moustache growing and fundraising efforts is always appreciated!

You can reactivate for Movember 2011 by simply clicking on Login and updating your details. You will then have access to view your 2010 donations as well as everything you need for the 2011 campaign.

Can I be in two teams?

The only way to do this is to have two separate registrations, one for each team. This is not recommended as it can create confusion, and you will not be able to combine your donations in order to reach milestones such as free Gala Tickets, Platinum Prize, etc.

Mo Space is where you can view all of Movember’s participants and check out their photos, videos, updates and fundraising on each of their Mo Space pages. Every participant can create his or her own Mo Space page through the login area.

What is a network?

A network is a group made up of different teams and individuals that could represent a company, organisation, college or school, sporting organization, community group or other.

You can be a member of multiple networks, e.g. your work network and/or sports team network. This allows you to contribute to their total amount raised and compare fundraising, whilst still participating on your own or in a team.

I already have a Mo - how can I participate?

If you already have a Mo you can do a ‘reverse Movember’ and have people donate to you to shave it off. Alternatively, you could shave off your moustache at the start of Movember and then re-grow your Mo throughout the month…. Maybe it’s time to try a new Mo style?

Are goatees or beards allowed?

The definition of a Moustache:

1.    There is to be no joining of the Mo to side burns – That’s a beard.
2.    There is to be no joining of the handlebars – That’s a goatee.
3.    A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).

Remember, it’s Movember, not ‘Beardvember’ or ‘Goateevember’

Do I have to start clean shaven?

Yes, Movember is for one month only! Head starts are not allowed and go against the spirit of Movember. To view a copy of the Movember Rules click here.

Can I order donation boxes?

Yes, you can order a pack of two donation boxes from the Merchandise section of the website. If you have a unique requirement please contact us at info.uk@movember.com
