Premiership Rugby has announced a new and exciting partnership with the Movember Foundation designed to improve the physical and mental health of rugby fans across the country and contribute to the vital fundraising efforts of the charity.
The new relationship sees the men's health foundation become an official charity partner of Premiership Rugby.
A central part of the new partnership is to support the worldwide fundraising efforts, dedicated to changing the face of men’s health in November. Combining the charity's populist appeal and health expertise with the power of the Aviva Premiership Rugby clubs, together, the organisations will also work with all fans to motivate men to take action to improve their health. Moving beyond the month of November – Movember's commitment to fans' health will become year round.
The Movember Foundation is the largest global charity dedicated to changing the face of men's health, raising awareness and critical funds to deliver breakthrough research and support services to help men live happier, healthier and longer lives. The charity is best known for challenging men to grow moustaches during November whereby guys grow and groom facial furniture to start fresh conversations about men's health and fundraise for men's health.
The moustache movement has been firmly embraced by the rugby community since it first started in the UK in 2007, and since 2013 every club in Premiership Rugby has had a team supporting the cause.
At the heart of the partnership will be the new MOVE like a Pro initiative which will:
• Offer rugby fans the opportunity to take part in a 12-week programme at their local Premiership Rugby club.
• Increase health and wellbeing of fans at hour-long sessions using clubs' training staff and facilities to exercise and receive expert guidance
• Give men at the sessions and in the stands a long term framework to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
• Create an online portal that will be open to all Premiership fans and their families, extending the programme's reach across the country.
The MOVE like a Pro programme will be part of Premiership Rugby's award-winning BreakThru community campaign and it's at the heart of the Movember Foundation's ongoing strategy to change the face of men's health.
