When retired Maggie Reed and her husband Kev moved into a Futures home in Heanor, Derbyshire in 2021, it wasn't long before she set herself the task of bringing people together to use our nearby community centre.
What originally started as less than a handful of people sat having a cup of tea in Gladstone Avenue community centre, has blossomed over the last year and a half and turned neighbours that didn't know each other into a large, close-knit group of friends - now known as Maggie's Den.
You can see just how important Maggie's Den is to our customers in the video below, as some of the group kindly opened up and shared the difference it's making to their lives.
Maggie's Den would love for more people to join them! They meet every other Tuesday, 10am until 2pm at Gladstone Avenue community centre, Gladstone Avenue, Heanor, Derbyshire, DE75 7PU - everybody is welcome!
Meet Maggie's Den
Over the last year and a half Maggie's Den in Heanor, Derbyshire has managed to turn neighbours that didn't know each other into a close-knit group of friends - all by using one of our community centres.
If watching this has left you inspired to make your own Maggie's Den, find out if there's a community centre near you on our website here - if you're a customer this may be free to book!
