Supporting the UK Movember Campaign

Rotarians have grown moustaches and gone dry for November 2024 raising over £600 for the national Movember campaign. This campaign aims to raise understanding of men’s health issues and fund health projects for men.

People throughout the UK are encouraged to grow a moustache (Mo) during November.

 

Rotarian Rennie Quinn grew a moustache for November and Rotarian Chris Etherington did not touch alcohol for the month. They were sponsored for these actions for more than £600, for the UK Movember Campaign.

 

Rennie had his moustache (Mo) shaved off in front of all club members, by Rotarian Hilary Hearnshaw. At that meeting, at Market Harborough Golf Club, all Rotarians who did not have a real moustache wore a false moustache in solidarity with Rennie.
