10 men's health projects your donations funded in 2024

For 21 years, Movember has been building a powerful men’s health movement that fundamentally transforms the way health services reach and support men, while addressing the root causes of poor health for men. With your help, we’ve invested millions of dollars into innovative research and world-class initiatives that help men live healthier, longer lives.

By continuing to improve men's health, we aim to create a brighter future for men, their families, and their communities. Here are the top 10 men’s health projects made possible this year, thanks to you – our amazing Movember community.

Movember invests $100m in the Movember Institute of Men's Health

This year, Movember launched The Movember Institute of Men's Health, a groundbreaking initiative that saves lives and advances men’s health. The Institute will bring together leading experts to accelerate research, deepen our understanding of men's health issues, and develop real-world improvements in men's health. FIND OUT MORE

The Real Face of Men’s Health report

We all have partners, fathers, brothers, sons, and buddies that we love. When these men are well, the benefits ripple through relationships, families, and communities. But when these men are unwell and unsupported, we all feel it. Our recent campaign – The Real Face of Men’s Health – reminds us of the many reasons to care about men’s health. FIND OUT MORE

We're partnering with the global leaders in sexual health

All prostate cancer treatments have sexual side effects, impacting quality of life, relationships and mental health. Together with the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM), we're tackling these problems head-on, with resources, training, and toolkits designed to improve the standard of sexual health care for men with prostate cancer. These resources are currently available to thousands of clinicians worldwide. FIND OUT MORE

Using sport to improve mental health in young men

We partnered with leading sports organisations and community clubs worldwide to improve men's health literacy, promote better help-seeking behaviours, and to strengthen mental health resilience among boys and men, through evidence-based initiatives and research. Ahead of the Game teaches young athletes how to spot mental health challenges, how to talk about it, and when and where to get help. FIND OUT MORE

Unlocking a new level of personalised prostate cancer care

Prostate cancer clinical trials and research studies often happen in isolation, meaning data is contained to the country of origin, never reaching its full potential. That's why we're partnering with the University of Adelaide in Australia to develop a world-class database. These willanalyse tissue samples from thousands of men across the globe and identify biomarkers. Those insights help researchers develop strategies for clinicians to make better decisions about prostate cancer care. FIND OUT MORE

Improving the mental health of Indigenous men

This year, we pledged a whopping AUD $59.5m to Indigenous Social and Emotional Wellbeing Initiatives across Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA. The programs aim to combat alarming health inequalities faced by Indigenous men around the world, through holistic community-driven approaches. FIND OUT MORE

A breakthrough in first-line treatment for prostate cancer

Lu-PSMA is a groundbreaking treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer, which is extending lives and improving quality of life. Even better, a new Movember-funded study found this targeted therapy could also dramatically improve outcomes for patients in earlier stages of the disease, potentially playing a role in reducing the global burden of prostate cancer in the future.

Supporting gamers to connect and support their mental health

Gamers vs. Depression is a Movember-funded project run by psychologists based in the UK and Australia. It uses online gaming as a vehicle for promoting mental health literacy and better social connections among adolescent males. The aim is to train Psychological First Aiders and embed them within esports teams to provide social/peer-support, so young men can openly discuss challenges in a safe and supportive manner.

Using AI to speed up prostate cancer breakthroughs

We have supported groundbreaking research on how AI can accelerate personalised treatments for men with prostate cancer. This state-of-the art technology aims to assist men, families, and doctors, in having more informed conversations about treatment choices – opening up options that may match to the specific biology of their cancer.

Testicular cancer trial edges closer to important findings

We’re proud to support the TIGER trial – a major international initiative involving research teams from the US, Europe and Australia. This trial seeks to better understand the biology and treatment options for men who have undergone chemotherapy for testicular cancer, but whose cancer has returned – a rare outcome of an already rare disease.

Last year, we celebrated a significant milestone: the recruitment of 420 men and boys from across the US, Europe and Australia. The trial is now in the “follow-up” phase, where we monitor how these guys fare with treatment over time. FIND OUT MORE
