During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Being a barber shop not only is men’s health a key interest for both us and our clientele but the subject of male grooming is the very heart stone of our world. It was therefore an obvious and simple decision to commit our charitable energies to Movember.
It was with much excitement that Richard, Daniel, Guy and Rich all headed off to funky Hoxton town for the grand launch of Movember 2011. Having sat down and had a number of meetings with Movember on how we can best help the cause we were touched to receive our tickets to the trendiest party in town! It was a truly classy night where we were wined and dined by the official sponsors of the charity – which included; HP Sauce, Snickers, Wilkinson Swords and others. All of our delegates got stuck in, Guy eyeing the free roast pork sandwiches, Daniel the free booze, Richard at every opportunity was clambering over the fake horse in the corner (we’re not entirely sure why there was a fake horse) and Rich was guilty throughout the evening for his wandering eyes. It is safe to say that “chic” and “glamorous” is how to define the crowd that night. In all seriousness though, it was great to meet seasoned Movember campaigners who have worked so hard on these very important issues and also to hear the stories from survivors of these cancers – survivors due to the fundraising and awareness raising of many of the people in the room that night.
All of the Pall Mall Barbers contingent that night came away focused and raring to get stuck into our Movember campaign plan – so here’s some of the things we’re doing!
The big, the hilarious, the absolutely rub your eyes to check you’re reading this correctly and not hallucinating – WEST END COMEDY GALA NIGHT starring PAUL, MAL and BARBARA! – This will be on 30th November at The Arts Theatre in the West End. The tickets range from £20-£37 Tickets ON SALE here!
Check out our Movember comedy clips on YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JvkTigzIRA&feature if it makes you laugh why not donate a little money remember it’s all for a good cause!
We will also be offering free moustache trims to all men raising money for Movember when they book in for a wash and cut during November and will also knock £5 off any wet shave option for fundraisers as well!
Go forth and propagate that upper lip!
