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, Programs
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, Programs.

About the project

PREVENT Volunteers are recruited to pass the messages of prevention and early detection to their community encouraging people to start by making one positive change to their lifestyle. “Change is in your hands” 

Volunteers are recruited and trained in the PREVENT programme modules by health promotion staff members over a six month period. Programme content covers the European code against cancer, signs and symptoms, communication and presentation skills and dealing with difficulties.

PREVENT  Volunteers are supported to give information talks and awareness stands, as required, to a variety of groups in their local area such as men's groups, sporting organisations and community groups.
