mobros-line-up-to-show-off-their-moustaches

Staff from Norfolk’s community NHS Trust have raised more than £1,000 after letting their moustaches run wild throughout ‘Movember’.

At the start of the month, 12 male members of staff from Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C) came together to form a band of brothers, each pledging to let their face fuzz grow for 30 days in aid of a good cause. Since then, the ‘NCHC Mobros’ have raised a staggering £1,028.

The money will go towards the Movember initiative, which aims to raise funds and awareness around men’s health issues, including prostate and testicular cancer and mental health. In 2012, over 1.1 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas raised over £92 million globally.

The Trust’s official line-up included members of its executive team, a physiotherapist, an admin assistant, and various staff from NCH&C’s HR and IT departments.

Leading the campaign to let their ‘mouth brows’ grow, was NCH&C’s Chief Executive, Michael Scott. “It is essential that we tackle taboos around health and ensure people feel able to access the support they need,” he said. “Movember is a fantastic initiative which can really help to raise the profile of men’s health issues.

“When I first started to let my ‘tache grow, it did open me up to a few jibes, especially from my wife! But for the team to have raised so much money, and contributed to this important awareness campaign, it has absolutely been worth it.”

The NCHC Mobros continue to welcome sponsorship for the cause and hope to see their tally rise a little more before they finally have a shave. To sponsor the team, and see their latest moustachioed photos, go to: http://uk.movember.com/team/1450533
