Our Sports Clubs are doing a phenomenal job with either taking part in fitness challenges, growing a moustache or hosting socials and we have now passed last years total of £14,000 AND this years total of £20,000!!!
We never would have thought within a week we would pass our own target so we are really smashing it to our new total of £25,000.
What can you do? GROW a mighty moustache. MOVE 60km throughout the month. HOST a fundraising event or simply MO your own way! Head to Movember.com, sign up and join the ‘Heriot Watt University’ challenge! Movember, the month formerly known as November, is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men’s health.
It is not too late to get involved! Sign up and join or donate to the HWU Challenge HERE!
Movember Socials
Our Volleyball Club hosted a Virtual Bingo Night on Wednesday. in aid of Movember. The night was a great success and over 40 people tuned in to play and listen to some of our SU members explain why Movember is important to them and why we should support this amazing cause. They managed to raise over £200 which is great to work on our new target!
Our Basketball Club are also hosting a social in aid of Movember with a Big Movember Quiz on Wednesday 25th November @ 7.30pm. It is £5 to enter and it is through the Basketball Movember Page.

Movember Interviews
Our HW Movember Ambassador Stewart Morgan, who is leading our campaign and where Movember is exceptionally special to him was lucky enough to chat to Mark Beaumont about Movember, mental health and student life which you can check out in our last news story.
Stewart has recently also interviewed Tongan Rugby Player Nasi Manu to discuss their experiences with Testicular Cancer in the hopes to encourage others to regularly self-check and take action whenever something’s not quite right!
It is definitely worth the watch, so take a look at the video below.
