Moree Community Association donate proceeds of Big Breakfast to victims and survivors group MUVE
The incredible generosity of the local community was on full display as Moree Community Association (MCA) hosted its annual Big Breakfast in March, helping to contribute to a vital local charity.
Moree Orange Hall, Rock, Dungannon, was buzzing with activity from early morning, as dedicated volunteers served up freshly cooked breakfasts from 8am right through to midday. Neighbours, friends, and visitors from across the district and further afield turned out in force to support the initiative, enjoying great food, warm hospitality, and lively community chat.
This year, the association chose to make a charitable contribution to Mid Ulster Victim Empowerment (MUVE), which exists to support, advocate for, and empower victims and survivors of the Northern Ireland Troubles. Through truth-telling, remembrance, and compassionate care, we provide a platform for unheard voices, promote healing, and seek justice and recognition for those affected.
Representatives from MUVE were in attendance throughout the morning, engaging directly with patrons and sharing insights into the critical, often life-changing work they carry out daily.
Reflecting on the successful partnership, a spokesperson for the Moree Community Association expressed their gratitude to everyone who contributed to the fundraiser: "It was an absolute pleasure to work alongside MUVE this year. Their team took the time to truly educate us on what they do and what they hope to achieve in our communities. They have been working tirelessly for victims, and we sincerely hope our donation can help them continue that vital mission."
The impact of the breakfast has extended well beyond a single morning of fundraising. Thanks to the positive engagement and the meaningful connections forged during the event, Moree Community Association has announced that MUVE will also be the chosen charity contribution of the 5th Annual Duck Race on the Rock River.
The highly anticipated family event is set to take place on Saturday, 22nd August 2026. Locals are being encouraged to get behind the cause once again to build on the fantastic momentum generated at the Orange Hall.
Ducks for the race are priced at £5 each with Adult and Child races on the night. Anyone wishing to purchase a duck and support this excellent cause can buy one directly from any MCA committee member, or by contacting Brian directly on 07821300229.
