In the same year , the TrueNTH program - now operating in the UK and five other Movember countries - was established to improve the quality of life for men with prostate cancer and their families . This revolutionary global care intervention program set about transforming access to care and support , to enhance the quality of life of men diagnosed with prostate cancer , and their partners and families . The areas being tackled include : treatment information , lifestyle advice , peer to peer support with other prostate cancer survivors and easier access to healthcare professionals .
The above are just a few examples of the projects funded by the Movember Foundation and delivered in partnership with Prostate Cancer UK .
Testicular Cancer
In 2013 , the charity funded the world ’ s largest testicular cancer genetics research project at the Institute of Cancer Research , which is designed to identify the specific DNA variants linked with testicular cancer . This research has identified 19 new variants that means we can now highlight the 1 % of men who are most at risk of developing the disease .
Mental Health and Suicide Prevention
Over the last two years , the charity has set about campaigning to encourage men to have open and potentially life-saving conversations when the going gets tough .
This work included the 2016 award-winning ‘ Suicide notes talk too late ’ video which played in cinemas and across social media , being viewed over 6 million times , to show how men taking action by talking can be truly life-saving . In 2017 the Movember Foundation ran an evolution of the campaign called ‘ Unmute – Ask him ’, which sets out to encourage those people who surround men – their partners , friends , family and colleagues – to open up the conversation by asking a man if he ’ s ok if they ’ re worried about him . To date these videos have already received 4M views globally .
The 2014 Social Innovators Challenge asked for innovative , actionable projects aimed at strengthening social connections and feelings of belonging for men , and this year the shortlisted projects have each received £ 100,000 to go to pilot stage to build up evidence for what works for different groups of men , and in different situational contexts – including food and sport . There are four projects in the UK , part of 13 globally .
A further initiative includes the Movember Rated Barbers , a new innovative global community of barbers who proactively use the power of the conversations that happen in the barber ’ s chair to improve the mental health and wellbeing of men . The barbers are trained and supported with access to information , tools and resources to support and change the lives of the men who enter their barbershops .
Whilst acknowledging progress is being made , the Movember Foundation refuses to rest , and realises that there is so much work that still needs to be done .
