We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
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, Programmes
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, Programmes.

What we seek to achieve

Our program vision is to create a world where young men are mentally healthy and well, and take action early supported by their friends, family and community. We will achieve this by scaling evidenced informed, gender-focused mental health interventions and programs. This will increase our impact in improving the mental health and wellbeing of young men by providing them with knowledge and tools, enabling them to take action to stay mentally well.

About the project

Movember has invested in a number of projects across key settings for young men including education, online/digital and sport. As we look at scaling our projects globally we have looked across our portfolio to understand where we’re best placed to reach young men. After a detailed analysis focusing on desirability, viability and feasibility we focused in on our scalable project(s) within organised sport. The aspiration for Movember (and its partners) is to become a clear leader in working with young men within the sport setting. Through this we believe we can not only improve the overall mental health and wellbeing of young men, but also develop the community around them to be more supportive and knowledgeable of mental health and wellbeing issues.
 
Ahead of the Game (AOTG) was developed in Australia (with Movember funding) and has shown significant results in improving the mental wellbeing of young men across a number of indicators including psychological distress, intentions to seek help (for yourself and others) and overall wellbeing. We believe Movember Ahead of the Game is a highly scalable program and can be effectively distributed through a sporting code or sporting partner making it perfect for our Go To Where Men Are (GTWMA) approach. As an organisation we’re perfectly placed to distribute the program due to our strong affiliation with sporting codes globally, providing a great opportunity to scale an evidence-based program with sustainable funding. Moreover, the appetite for the product has already been confirmed with our joint partnership with New Zealand Rugby to deliver a young man in sports intervention, building upon the AOTG model.
 
To get AOTG to scale initially across Canada, the UK and Australia we have utilsed our in-market expertise (fundraising and major giving teams) to identify sporting codes and delivery by qualified training facilitators. This activity will be supported by a small investment of core campaign funding per market to facilitate setup and oversight in each market. In 2021, we will also be implementing the program in Ireland. We will aim to have the whole project self-sustaining by 2025 in all the markets we enter as part of this business plan.
