Men’s health is taken seriously considered in November.
Moustaches all over the UK and around the world are grown by men to raise money
for prostate or testicular cancer to create awareness. Brown’s Barbers’ s
taff
is also taking part in sponsoring this campaign by growing moustaches – or mos
– and being sponsored by friends and families.
Brown’s Barbers was founded in 1997 in UK and is still
located here today. We are a fashionable chain for men’s hairdressers and,
along with other barbers in UK, are supporting this cause. Movember happens every year. Bobby Brown, the
founder of Brown’s Barbers, says: “It is
important to take this month seriously as it is the only month the world gets
to earnestly consider men’s health. As my staff, I am also growing a moustache
to support this cause although my wife hates them.”
The company also will donate £1 from every appointment made.
Those customers who have the best moustaches have a chance to win one free
moustache-trimming and pampering session.

About Movember:
Movember, the month formerly known as November, is when men
around the world grow a
moustache for 30 days, to raise awareness and funds for
men’s health specifically prostate cancer,
testicular cancer and men’s mental health.
Movember started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 with a few
friends who wanted to bring back the
past fashion trend- the moustache. That year, 30 guys
participated but no money was raised. In
2004, amazed by the fun they had and the conversations that
were sparked, four of the 30 original
members came together to make their Mo-growing an annual,
official charitable endeavour by
adding an important cause- prostate cancer. That year, 450
participants raised $43,000 AUD for the
Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
Now in 2013, there are official Movember campaigns in 21
countries and in 2012 over £92 million
was raised globally.
To take part, register at movember.com. Start date is on 1st
November and the participants must be clean shaven.
