Post workers in Movember campaign

Royal Mail workers are being urged to grow a moustache or take part in fundraising activities next month as part of a drive to raise £1 million for a prostate cancer charity.

A special Movember postmark will be stamped on letters for a month from October 15, and Royal Mail will match funds raised by its employees.

Prostate Cancer UK was chosen by staff as the postal group’s main charity this year.

Royal mail chief executive Moya Greene said: “We have a proud history of charitable fundraising at Royal Mail – in fact, we’re Guinness world record holders thanks to the generosity of our people.

“So I am very confident that we will continue that tradition by raising funds for this very worthy cause during Movember and in the year ahead.”

Owen Sharp, chief executive of Prostate Cancer UK, said: “We are delighted that Royal Mail is appealing to its employees to get involved in Movember. Even though, on the surface, Movember appears to be a fun initiative it has been hugely successful in not only raising millions of pounds for research into prostate cancer, but also in managing to get younger men to start thinking about their health.”
