Initiated by the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA), Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to raise awareness about cybersecurity and cybercrime prevention. The event advocates for the safe use of all technology and education on technological advancements. It’s about creating strong partnerships between governments and corporations to amplify our message and foster a greater “digital” good.

The NCA aims to make cybersecurity easier and more accessible so that people can enjoy the benefits technology brings to their lives without worry.
Whether in a professional or personal setting, cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility and being educated about online safety can improve mental well-being and life’s stresses.

Movember
2025-11-01 - 2025-11-30
What is ‘Movember?’

Movember is an annual event that occurs every November. During this time, men grow moustaches to raise awareness of men’s health issues.
By encouraging men to grow moustaches, Movember aims to increase early detection, better knowledge and improved treatment of things such as prostate and testicular cancer, mental health issues and men’s suicide.
Since its inception, Movember has raised over £400 million thanks to almost 7 million “Mo Bros” participating—not bad considering there were only 30 participants the first year.

Facts!

1 in 4 men admit to never having checked themselves for testicular cancer
Almost half of all men regularly forget to check themselves for testicular cancer
47% of men with a mental health problem have never raised it in the workplace
Men account for ¾ of UK deaths by suicide
Globally, on average 1 man dies of suicide every minute of every day
Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women thanks to largely preventable/treatable reasons such as prostate or testicular cancer, and mental health difficulties

Having been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2017 and Prostate Cancer a year later, Clive has battled more than most.

Today, Clive’s mission is to actively demonstrate that we do have the ability to overcome adversity. Resilience, Hope and Positivity are crucial words in his vocabulary, and the next chapter of his life will be met with stoicism and a smile. Clive is the epitome of an ‘inspirational speaker.’
