Supporting Men’s Health: Carpenter Box takes part in Movember 2024

This November, eight of our team members embraced the Movember challenge, raising awareness to support men’s health initiatives; including mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate and testicular cancer.

What is Movember?

Movember is an annual event where participants grow moustaches and/or commit to physical challenges to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. It shines a light on crucial issues like mental health, suicide prevention, and early detection of prostate and testicular cancer. These health concerns impact countless men worldwide, and Movember helps fund innovative research and programs to provide better support and prevention.

Every year, Movember participants and supporters join forces to spark conversations and encourage men to prioritise their health.

Our Movember team

This year, eight members of our team took part across the Worthing, Brighton and Crawley offices. They were: Sam Fisher, Jonathan Matthews, Mike Davis, Deaglan Johnson, Sam Hebberd, Charlie Yanez, Josh Plumb, and Ronan McKinney. All came together to grow epic moustaches, and raise funds and awareness.

A further three took on walking and running challenges:

• Sam Hebberd took on a walking challenge, trekking from Lancing to Brighton.
• Mike Davis and Jonathan Matthews committed to running a minimum of 60 kilometers during the month. This distance reflects the harrowing statistic that we lose one man to suicide every 60 seconds worldwide.
• As a team, we collectively covered 435 kilometers – which is the equivalent to 10.3 marathons!

How much did they raise?

Thanks to the generosity of our staff and supporters, we’ve raised £1,084, which will contribute to life-saving research, programs, and support networks for men facing mental health struggles and physical health challenges.

Your donations and support help create brighter futures for men and their families. Together, we’re ensuring that men live healthier, happier, and longer lives.

Thank you
