Sixth form pupils and teachers from Wisbech Grammar School have committed to 60km of movement and grown out moustaches in aid of the men's health charity.

Movember works with a number of organisations to raise awareness and funds for issues such as prostate and testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

With £480 being raised so far, money is still coming in from sponsorship.

Kate Taylor, head of sixth form, said: "I am incredibly proud of the pupils and staff who have supported Movember this year.

"It is important to challenge the status quo and to de-stigmatise male mental health issues.

"Our donations will help men all over the world live happier, healthier and longer lives.

"Many thanks to everyone who has sponsored us."
