Lifeline Fiji has been given a boost in helping people with mental health issues as FNPF-owned IHG Fiji Hotels raised $5,000 during their Movember campaign.

The FNPF-owned IHG Fiji Hotels, including InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, Grand Pacific Hotel, and Holiday Inn Suva say the month-long initiative shone a light on critical men’s health issues, including mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer, while opening conversations and meaningful community engagement.

They say Movember, a globally recognised symbol of men’s health advocacy, inspires participants to grow moustaches and encourage discussions about health issues often left unspoken.

They say FNPF-owned IHG Fiji Hotels embraced this global tradition through bespoke offerings and thoughtfully curated events, creating unique opportunities for both guests and colleagues to support the cause.

IHG Fiji Hotels says a highlight of the campaign was the Mental Health Awareness Sessions, facilitated by Lifeline Fiji which was open to their staff to attend at all three hotels last month.

They say these sessions provided a safe and supportive environment for discussions about mental well-being, offering access to essential resources and professional guidance. IHG Fiji Hotels says guests were also treated to a variety of Movember-themed experiences across all three hotels in November. They say the campaign’s wellness element was elevated by the Movember Spa Retreat, featuring Himalayan Salt Back Scrubs, with 10 percent of sales of this treatment donated to Lifeline Fiji.

IHG Hotels and Resorts Portfolio General Manager Lachlan Walker says Movember is about starting conversations and breaking the stigma around men’s health issues.

He says throughout the month of November, they have created awareness, inspired action, and contributed to the well-being of our community by donating to Lifeline Fiji to support their critical services across the country.
