This November, the team at Watts Roofing Supplies are proud to be taking part in Movember: the leading global charity changing the face of men’s health. From growing moustaches to walking and/or running 60km, our team are coming together to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Standing Up for Men’s Mental Health in the Trade Industry
While we’re not up on the roofs ourselves, we work alongside the people who are – roofers, builders, and tradespeople who keep this industry running day in and day out. We see the pressures they face: long days, physical work, early starts, and the expectation to always “crack on” no matter what.
That’s why Movember means something special to us. Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it’s something that’s often overlooked in the trade industry. Too many men still feel like they can’t open up when life gets tough, and Movember is about changing that.
We want to help break the stigma, get people talking, and show that it’s okay to ask for help.
More Than Just a Moustache
Yes, you’ll see some questionable moustaches appearing around our branches this November! But behind the fun, the message is serious. Movember raises awareness for causes that affect thousands of men across the UK, from mental health and suicide prevention to prostate and testicular cancer.
At Watts Roofing Supplies, some of our team members will be growing their ’taches with pride, while others are taking on the 60km challenge, moving for the 60 men lost to suicide every hour across the world. Taking things a step further, a few of our team will be running from Cambridge to Baldock to Stevenage for men’s health this Movember. Every step, every conversation, and every donation helps to make a difference.
Why We’re Getting Involved
As a roofing merchant, we’re proud to be part of a hardworking industry built on teamwork, graft, and resilience. But strength also means knowing when to talk and when to support one another. We’re joining Movember to do our bit for men’s health and to encourage open, honest conversations in our community.
We know it’s not always easy to speak up, but sometimes, all it takes is one chat, one message, or one mate checking in. That’s where real change starts.
Join Us in Supporting Movember
Throughout November, we’ll be sharing updates from the team as we grow, walk, run, and raise funds for this incredible cause. Whether you donate, join in, or simply help spread the word, your support means the world.
Let’s stand together to support men’s health and make this Movember count.
Follow our journey on social media and keep up with our progress throughout the month. Together, we can make a real difference one conversation, one kilometre, and one moustache at a time.
