RESIDENTS and staff at RMBI Care Co. Home Prince George Duke of Kent Court in Chislehurst have been supporting Movember to raise awareness of men’s health issues.
Movember, the month formerly known as November, is when brave and selfless men around the world grow a moustache and women step up to support them, all to raise awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and male suicide.
To mark Movember, activities coordinator Diane Connor led a talk at the home about the importance of raising awareness of men’s health issues, as well as encouraging people to talk more openly about their health.
“Supporting Movember was a fun way for our Home to raise awareness and bring focus to the importance of men’s health,” she said. “Taking part in these types of national events helps our residents feel part of the community and contributing to a greater cause.”
Residents and staff also had a laugh donning a variety of different moustaches.
