ManChat: Peer Support for Trust Staff As part of our Movember initiatives, we’re hosting a ManChat peer support session exclusively for Trust staff:

This campaign is all about starting conversations, breaking down stigma, and encouraging early detection and support. Movember empowers men to speak openly, seek help, and make informed choices for a healthier, happier life.

By growing a “Mo” and engaging in awareness activities, we help shine a light on critical issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.

Movember 2025: Supporting Men’s Health Together 📷 Movember, running from 1st to 30th November, is recognised globally as Men’s Health Awareness Month. It’s more than just moustaches—it’s a movement that encourages men to take charge of their physical and mental well-being.

We want you to thrive in your roles at all times, but we know winter months present different challenges to all. So we are proud to share our winter wellbeing toolkit to ensure you have one resource which you can access at any time for a variety of advice, help and support.

This toolkit gives all our people an overview of the dedicated help and support available. Each of these services can help you with your health and wellbeing during winter in different ways and can be accessed directly by you.

The toolkit also includes practical tips and advice to help you throughout the year but in particular during winter months.
