The history of organised Mountain Rescue teams began on this island in 1962 when the Mourne Mountain Rescue Team was founded. The Kerry Mountain Rescue Team and the An Óige Mountain Rescue Team were later founded in 1966.

The Mourne Mountain Rescue Team is made up entirely of volunteers who live close to the Mournes. Based at the foot of Slieve Donard in the coastal town of Newcastle, all operations and callouts are currently conducted from the PSNI Station.

Help us raise funds for our new Base…

Lidl Northern Ireland has been given the green light to proceed with plans to develop a new state-of-the-art store in Newcastle, County Down. The new store, which will be located at Shan Slieve Drive and Bryansford Road, at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, will also provide The Team the space it needs to develop a new facility, future-proofing the organisation and its ability to continue providing a lifesaving service.

The Team are actively fundraising and seeking your help to ensure we have the funds in place to make this exciting project a reality. We need YOUR help to get us the funds we need! To find out how you can donate please visit our donation page. Every Lidl helps…

Mourne Mountain Rescue Team is feeling thankful with Air Ambulance Northern Ireland and Protamino Nutrition Ltd.
Mourne Mountain Rescue Team

Normally we try and get a shout out each month to those that have went above and beyond in raising money or supporting the team to do what we train to do.

This month we have delayed it a little to make sure we can give the proper recognition to another number of special members of our community.

This month let’s all give a massive #ThankYouThursday to:
⁃ Just Giving Donors, Rebecca Funston and Lorna Tate, who each have given kindly to support the team.
⁃ Protamino Nutrition Ltd for donating food and drink supplies which will keep our team members fed and hydrated on those long call-outs.
⁃ A special thanks to Lorraine Ward and the Trainor family who generously gave of their time and raised funds in memory of their late Father.

Finally, a little, and much deserved thanks to our colleagues and pre-hospital experts at the Air Ambulance NI who work tirelessly with us to ensure we all get the right care, to those in need, as quickly as possible.

Together we can make a difference.

As always, if you would like to support us please use the link below.
