We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes.

About the project

The Irish Cancer Society is one of two National Health Charities represented on the National Men’s Health Policy (2008-2013) Implementation Group, co-ordinated by the Dept. of Health and the Health Service Executive(HSE).
The group meets 4 times per year to review progress and provide advice on the implementation of the National Men’s Health Policy (2009- 2013).
The Plan and the project have been badly affected by the current economic crisis. The main effort has been to keep men’s health and gender on the health policy and to gain support from practitioners in the health, voluntary and community sectors. HSE provides limited resources for Research, Training and the development of men’s health Pilot projects e.g. Co-ordination of the Men’s Health Week Planning Committee

As the program detailed in this report card supports men with prostate cancer as well as boys and men with testicular cancer, this report card is shown in both the prostate cancer and testicular cancer categories.
