Hey school and college Mo's!

It's nearly the end of the month, and I want to give a heartfelt thank you to you all for your incredible efforts this Movember. We've seen so many amazing students and teachers go above and beyond this year in their fundraising, challenges, events and in their efforts to get their school community talking about men's health as much as possible. All those assemblies and classes on Movember and men's health that you've run make a huge difference, and you never know just how many people you will have supported by getting the word out there.

The Schools Challenge closes officially for Movember 2025 on December 8th at 10pm, so you've still got some time to get those last minute donations in, and to convert those bake sale coins onto the Mo Space!
