Movember Shave Down

Check out Movember's upcoming events to see how you can get out and have fun while supporting men's mental health

3 November 2025

Be an ally – it can be difficult to know if your friends or family are struggling with their mental health. During Movember, we will be around campus with our ‘Be an Ally’ information stand to give you advice about how to recognise the symptoms and how to offer support.

We kick off on Wednesday 5 November with our Information Fair which includes a number of the support services at the University along with external organisations within the Portsmouth community that offer support around mental health. Come along and sign the board to be an Ally!
