KINGSWOOD COLOMENDY DOES MOVEMBER!

Some of our bold men on centre have decided to brave the cold and go bare faced to raise awareness for men's health. From the 1st November they have all clean shaved and are all embarking on their moustache journey arm in arm!

Su***de is the biggest cause of death in men under the age of 50 and around 3 out of 4 deaths from suicides each year are men. With these alarming statistics we have decided to raise money for Mind the mental health charity.

We will keep you updated with our tash progress and any donations to our JustGiving page is much appreciated!

Happy Movember, folks!
