This year’s campaign focuses on mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Staff from PNECET are also joining the effort, alongside academy sport scientist Max Halsworth.
In a statement they said: “Together, the team are committed to growing their “Mo’s” and inspiring others to open up conversations around men’s health. The Movember charity works globally to tackle some of the biggest health challenges facing men.
“Every moustache grown and donation made this month will contribute to the hundreds of projects running across the country, all dedicated to improving men’s health and sparking important conversations that save lives.

First-team skipper Whiteman added: “Talking about mental health and physical health openly isn’t always easy, especially for men, but seeing my team-mates and staff at the Trust and academy getting involved together makes a difference.”
