We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes.

About the project

The Cancer Society’s Movember Ambassador recruits prominent prostate cancer survivors through their participation in Movember, their involvement with the Cancer Society and via word of mouth. He will arrange professional training for them in the skills of public presentation and in consistence of messages they deliver.

When they have reached the desired level of competency they will be ushered into the arena of delivering their stories to clubs, workplaces and other, mainly male, gatherings particularly in smaller centres. They will be promoted through the Get The Tools (GTT) website, social media and the Cancer Society. They will present in the company of a clinician who will  answer medical questions.

A template of the presentations, resource material and collaterals to support the presentations to ensure consistency of messages in the delivery.
