Beneficiary Partner
Movember has an absolute obligation to all Mo Bros and Sistas to select reputable charity partners across the globe. We ensure that our chosen partners adhere and agree to a strict set of criteria which includes having plans in place for spending funds, best practice corporate governance and transparency across the organiation.
As a result, Movember UK collaborates with the men’s health partners – The Prostate Cancer Charity (TPCC).
A comment from TPCC, John Neate, CEO:
“The Prostate Cancer Charity is hugely proud to be the official partner of Movember in the UK. Movember 2008 was another fantastic success – generating £2.4 million and raising awareness of prostate cancer in hundreds of thousands of people touched by the campaign.
The Charity relies entirely on voluntary income to fund its work and Movember is our largest fundraising event.At the end of last year, we launched an ambitious strategy, setting out key changes we must see in men’s experience of prostate cancer by 2020. Movember will be an essential part of achieving these changes, enabling us to fight prostate cancer on every front – through research, support, information and campaigning.
We are deeply grateful to the 16,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas who supported Movember in 2008. You are truly part of the global fight against this disease. Here’s to an even more successful Movember 2009!”
