UoM Sports Clubs and SU Societies Raise £13,495 for Movember
UoM Sports Clubs and SU Societies worked together this past November to raise both awareness and money for the Movember movement.
The Movember Charity is a leading charity in addressing men’s mental health by focusing on prevention, early intervention and health promotion. Movember works to address men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate/testicular cancer awareness on a global scale. Funds raised for the cause are put toward invention development, therapy and diagnostic tests for cancer, as well as community-led mental health projects that have said countless numbers of lives.
Last year, the clubs and societies raised £9,022 for the cause, but this year they completely smashed that record!
