Millwall Community Trust is proud to be supporting International Men’s Day 2025.
On November 19, International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities.
They highlight positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being. Our theme for 2025 is “Celebrating Men and Boys”.
