THE workers at Qinetiq defence testing site in Shoebury did the Movember fundraising month proud, growing an inspiring array of moustaches in aid of a men’s health charity.
The team raised a total of £4,825 towards mens cancer research and raising awareness of men’s mental health issues.
The defence site also played host to activities, including a bake-off, a chilli lunch and a Movember curry night.
To celebrate the culmination of their efforts, the site held a MoBQ – a Movemberthemed barbecue, with a ceremonial shave off.
A spokesman from the company said: “So many of the guys and girls at QinetiQ got behind this.
“Not only was the fundraising superb, but it was a fantastic show of support for all the friends and colleagues who have so bravely battled cancer.”
