This role would suit any keen Movember supporter whether they have a personal connection to one of our cause areas (Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer or Mental Health & Suicide Prevention) or just want to help us raise some much needed funds/ awareness. Our Community Ambassadors will look to turn their localities into a hub for Movember related activities gathering as much support as possible!
