DYER & BUTLER’S
MOVEMBER
FUNDRAISING
Movember is an annual campaign
which seeks to raise funds and
awareness for men’s health,
as well as shining a spotlight on
the subject of male suicide.
In support of 2020’s Movember campaign, 36 of Dyer &
Butler’s people signed up to raise money for the cause. Their
fundraising involved the traditional growing of a moustache,
whilst others opted for the Mo Moves health challenge by
running, walking, cycling, or in one case, rowing more than
60km to represent the 60 lives lost to male suicide every hour
across the world.
Throughout the month, the team really pulled together to
complete their Mo Moves challenges whilst raising money for
charity, producing some amazing results.

Across the team, personal challenges and targets were
smashed and the campaign really provided a well needed focus
on health and wellbeing initiatives during the month. All of the
team provided regular updates, support and pictures on their
profile page, or in some cases comparisons with famous faces.
The team put in a huge effort and raised a staggering £12,840
by the end of the campaign and covered a distance of
4474.5km throughout the month – equivalent to the distance
between Dyer & Butler’s head office in Southampton and the
northern tip of Nova Scotia in Canada.
