The lead up to Christmas can be a really tough time of the year for so many New Zealand men and families so Barkers and Movember want to ensure that while many of us celebrate the upcoming holiday season, we are still looking after our mates and men.
During December we will donate $1 from every purchase to support mens mental health.
December represents the biggest sales period in retail, so what better time to give something back to the community; supporting the amazing work undertaken by The Movember Foundation. Let's help New Zealand men live longer and happier and lives.
Let’s look after our Men
We will also be auctioning off the Ultimate Barkers pack worth over $5000, with all proceeds going to Movember.
Head on over to Trademe and bid now.
The Movember Foundation
Men are facing a health crisis that isn’t being talked about, they are dying too young and before their time. Men on average die six years earlier than women. The Movember Foundations funds innovative research into some of the biggest health issues faced by Men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Every minute a man dies from suicide, with three out of four suicides being men. The Movember Foundation is working towards a world where men and boys take action to be mentally healthy and well, and are supported by their friends, family and community during tough times.
