Vinod Patel and Home & Living raise over $20,000 for men’s health in successful Movember campaign

Vinod Patel and Home & Living, together with the Vinod Patel Foundation, have successfully concluded their impactful month-long Movember campaign, raising over $20,000 to support critical men’s health issues such as prostate cancer and mental health, with the funds to be donated to the Fiji Cancer Society and St Giles Hospital.

Home & Living CEO Jatin Patel emphasised the importance of the cause, saying that many men avoid discussing physical and mental health issues due to social norms.

He says it is essential to start conversations and take early preventative action before it’s too late.

Patel adds that Movember is now an annual tradition for the team, and everyone looks forward to being part of it.

Each year, team members at Vinod Patel and Home & Living come together to support this charitable initiative, contributing both time and resources.

Participating male staff members also grew moustaches throughout November to symbolise their commitment to raising awareness about men’s health.
