We’re bristling with reminders of a charity event we all love.
November means Movember and fundraisers across South Tyneside have helped the cause in style over the years.
It’s a fun campaign with a serious message as the money raised will help in the campaign against prostate cancer, testicular cancer and to support men’s mental health and suicide prevention.
Can we tempt you with recollections from the borough and not just Movember but tache teasers of all fundraising varieties. After all, you have supported so many great causes over the years.
Have a look and see if you can spot a charity moustache grower that you know.
