November is recognised as Men’s Health Awareness Month. Men are encouraged to grow mustaches and take part in various activities to raise awareness of about men’s health. And that’s why it is also called Movember.

This month-long event focuses on promoting physical and mental well-being among men, addressing issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health challenges, and suicide prevention. It’s an opportunity for men to discuss their health openly, seek support and take proactive steps towards a healthier and happier life.

The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust (GFCT) is committed to men’s health and since 2004 has been raising awareness of prostate cancer and making PSA prostate cancer tests readily available to men. In recent years GFCT has expanded this to include a variety of health tests, for both men and women, which act as key health indicators. Our health tests are available at public health test events throughout the year across the UK. This year we have taken another significant step to making all our health tests easily accessible through making them available in a home testing format.

To show our support for Movember we are offering a discount of 10% during November on all our home testing kits. Take advantage of it by using the following code: NOV10
