🧠 Movember 2025: Let’s Talk About Men’s Mental Health
This Movember, we’re spotlighting mental health and su***de prevention, two critically important areas for men’s wellbeing, far too many men struggle silently.

👉 Why it matters...
• Many men face pressure to stay strong and “get on with it,” which can stop them from talking about how they’re really feeling.
• Saying something can make all the difference, helping to break down barriers, normalise conversations, and encourage support.
• Movember invests in projects that research and deliver mental health support, with a focus on early intervention and improving access to help.

🗣️ What we encourage you to do...
• Reach out, talk to a friend, partner, colleague or your GP if you’re struggling.
• Don’t wait for things to get worse, early help can help turn things around.
• Remember: you’re not alone and there is support available.
📞 If you or someone you know needs help, please contact us, or find support via Samaritans (116 123), or other local mental health services.

This Movember, let’s change the conversation. Let’s connect. Let’s support each other.

A huge well done to everyone who took part in Stoptober this month! 🎉👏
Staying smoke-free for even a few days is a huge achievement, and if you made it all 28 days, give yourself a big pat on the back, you’re 5 times more likely to quit for good!

If you didn’t take part, don’t worry, it’s never too late to start your quit journey. 🚭💪
The NHS has plenty of support to help you stop smoking whenever you’re ready.

👉 Find free support and tools to help you quit at: https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking/ or download the NHS Quit Smoking app!
