💙November is men's health awareness month💙

💬 This month, we are raising awareness for the health issues that affect men most - including mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
💬 This is a great reminder for men to prioritise their wellbeing by:
→ Booking a check-up with your GP - early detection saves lives.
→ Talking openly about how you're feeling - it's okay to ask for help.
→ Staying active and eating well - small lifestyle changes make a big difference.
💬 Whether you grow a moustache, start a conversation, or encourage a friend to get checked - every action counts. Let's work together to break the stigma and support the men in our lives to be happier and healthier!
