Movember: Men’s Health Network's thank-you to supporters
24 December 2025
The six-strong fundraising squad has raised more than £3,500 for men’s health over 2025, bringing its collective total to over £20,000 in the last four years.
Inspector Fergus Green, chair of West Mercia Police Men’s Health Network, said: “That will make a big difference to people.
“A massive thank you to people who joined the team and raised money, and thank you to everybody inside and outside the organisation that donated.
Support
“And there’s still time for people to support us, if they’d like to.”
Movember is a global men’s health movement focused on tackling key health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
It’s become an annual fixture for West Mercia Police Men’s Health Network. Between the six team members, they covered almost 300km running, walking, or cycling, along with silly challenges – all designed to spark conversations about and raise money for men’s health.
And Fergus gave special mention to PC Sian Stockton, who raised £1,600 this year.
PC Sian Stockton
Sian has raised more than £15,000 for Movember over the years and continued to bring creativity and energy to this campaign.
She wore a different drawn-on or stuck-on moustache every day. Previously, she has organised social and awareness events to bring people together and spark conversations.
Fergus said: “We’re really pleased with how much we’ve raised, but we have to massively credit Sian.
“She is a prolific Movember fundraiser and ambassador, and it’s great to have her on the team.”

Meanwhile, the Men’s Health Network is turning its focus to 2026, beginning with a January reset and a renewed call for ideas, volunteers and momentum.
Fergus said the group will remain committed to Movember but will also explore how to broaden its work to support men year-round.
A key goal is to reach officers before they hit crisis point, overcoming the longstanding barrier that many men simply don’t talk about their health.
Fergus continued: “One of the issues with men's health is that men don't talk about it.
Crisis point
“So getting men interested and engaged, and we want to get them interested and involved before they've hit crisis point and are seeking support.
“How do we do that? I think a key part is that we have to be continually evolving.
“We've got to keep finding new ways to get the messaging out and raise awareness.
“So the Men's Health Network will resume in January, and we’ll be looking for fresh ideas of what to tackle and what direction to take it.”
