Cutenhoe Hill Primary School gets behind Movember

Cutenhoe Hill Primary School is throwing its support behind Movember this November, raising awareness and vital funds for men’s mental health and wellbeing.

Movember is about much more than simply growing a moustache. The annual campaign encourages men to start important conversations about their mental health, seek support when they need it and recognise that it is okay to talk. The Movember charity also supports suicide prevention and raises awareness of prostate and testicular cancer.

Leading the campaign at Cutenhoe Hill are four members of staff – Mr Geer, Mr Iszchak, Mr Jolley and Mr McDonnell – who are taking on the challenge of growing their moustaches throughout November. Through their participation, they hope to help spread the message that no one should have to struggle alone.

The school community will be keeping a close eye on their progress and are looking forward to seeing the results at the end of the month!

Alongside the moustache-growing challenge, the school has organised two fundraising events to get pupils, parents and staff involved:

• Wednesday 11 November: Donuts for Dads (and Mums)!

• Friday 27 November: Break the Rules Day!

Through these activities, Cutenhoe Hill Primary School hopes to raise funds, encourage open conversations and help shine a spotlight on the importance of men's mental health.
