Maghera Heritage Centre hails Mid Ulster Council's support as key to ongoing success

"Partnerships like this are the backbone of our community," said Mr McCoy. "Because of this vital support, we’ve been able to keep Maghera’s past alive while building a brighter future for all our residents."

The Chairperson highlighted several key achievements made possible by the Council’s support during the past year:

Preserving local history - protecting Maghera’s unique stories and local identity through archiving and research.

Vibrant community programming - delivering a diverse schedule of workshops, historical talks, and arts events—such as the John Marquess Memorial Library opening.

Building local pride - contributing directly to the Maghera Regeneration Programme.

"We are deeply grateful for the Council's help in delivering outcomes that matter," McCoy added.

"This collaboration ensures Maghera remains a vibrant hub of history, inter-generational solidarity, and community spirit.”
