MOVEMBER
Across the UK and the world, our fathers, partners, brothers, and friends are facing a mental health crisis, but it’s talked about enough. We are losing people too young and too soon. Working with Movember and other mental health charities, I want to be part of the conversation as we fight for change.
What is Movember?
Movember was founded in 2003, and since then has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging stereotypes, taking part in men’s health research, and transforming the way health services reach and support men.
As someone who has personally lost someone close to me, this subject is close to my heart. That's why, alongside taking a role on the APPG for Male Suicide and being part of the Mental Health Bill Committee, I'm showing my support for Movember.
Advocating
I've met with Movember, and other mental health charities such as Andy's Man Club, to show my support and offer my help in any way I can.
Spotlighting
Working with local charities, raising the profile and topics online and in Parliament, and keeping the conversation going raises awareness.
Participating
2025 sees me grow my very first moustache, who I have affectionately called "Bob". I'll be tracking the progress across this Movember!

Introducing... Bob!
For Movember 2025, I'm growing my first ever (yes, really!) moustache as part of my campaigning around improving men's mental health services. I've called it "Bob", and if you'd like to support this new look for me, please do click below!
