Men's Health Awareness Month 2025

At Fosse, we see firsthand how men’s health issues — from prostate and testicular cancer to mental health struggles — can deeply affect not just individuals, but also their families, friends, and communities. Through our array or services, we witness the impact that early intervention, understanding, and compassion can make.

Why Movember Matters

Men are often less likely to seek help for physical or emotional problems. According to recent studies, men account for three out of every four suicides in the UK, and too many are still avoiding vital health checks or staying silent about how they feel. Movember aims to change that — by starting conversations, breaking down stigma, and reminding men that it’s okay to reach out.

Our Role in Care

As a care provider, our teams play an important role in supporting men at every stage of life:

• Encouraging open dialogue around mental health and wellbeing.
• Supporting older men in maintaining independence, routine health checks, and social connections.
• Promoting awareness among families and communities about the signs of declining health — both physical and emotional.
• Empowering younger generations, including the boys and young men we support, to understand that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

How You Can Get Involved

This Movember, we’re encouraging all staff to take part — whether that’s by:

• Growing a moustache to spark conversation.
• Starting a “Move for Movember” challenge — getting active to raise awareness.
• Wearing blue or hosting a coffee morning to talk about men’s health.
• Or simply checking in with the men in your life — colleagues, friends, or family — and asking, “How are you, really?”

Together, We Can Make a Difference!

By supporting Movember, we’re not just raising awareness — we’re showing care, compassion, and leadership in an area that touches so many lives. Every small conversation or act of support can make a big difference.

Let’s use this month to shine a light on men’s health and reaffirm our commitment to caring for the whole person — body and mind, young and old, every day of the year.
