Haverfordwest County AFC will be proudly supporting leading men’s health charity Movember next month.
Movember is a global movement that helps to raise awareness and vital funds for men’s health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health and suicide prevention.
Members of the football club will be growing moustaches throughout the duration of November to help raise awareness, while we will also be raising funds to help support the movement.
We will be sharing progress updates across our social media platforms, as well as producing Movember-specific content to help shine a spotlight on the movement.
Since its foundation in 2003, Movember has raised over £400 million for men’s health issues, with a large portion of funds being invested in research.
This year, Movember is putting youth mental health centre stage, with a key focus on helping youngsters to learn how to look after their mental health.
Half of all mental health conditions begin by the age of 14, and three quarters by 24, meaning early support has never been more urgent.
A 2025 report from the Movember Institute of Men’s Health looked into the impact of social media on young men’s lives, and more specifically the impact that content from men and masculinity influencers is having on their lives and wellbeing. You can read the report, titled ‘Young Men’s Health in a Digital World’ in full by following this link.
Haverfordwest County AFC invites all supporters and members of the wider Pembrokeshire community to get involved with our fundraising efforts. You can share pictures of your ‘Mo’ with us on any of our social media platforms!
Females can also play their part by convincing male friends and family to join the movement, as well as taking part in the Move for Mental Health challenge. All you have to do is walk or run a total of 60km (60 men are lost to suicide globally every hour) over the course of the month.
Any donations, no matter how big or small, to our Movember fundraiser will be greatly appreciated by everyone at the football club, and you can do so by following this link.
You can find out more about Movember by heading to their website.
