Maggie was one of our fantastic volunteers and friend who we sadly lost at the start of this year. A lot of visitors will recognise Maggie. We will be closed on Saturday 6 June to attend a memorial for a wonderful lady.

💙 Remembering Maggie 💙

Maggie’s journey at Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre is a powerful reminder of how movement, community and connection can transform lives.

From taking her very first step on a health and wellbeing programme to becoming a much-loved part of our Aqua Aerobics community, Maggie inspired everyone around her with her kindness, positivity, and determination.

Her legacy lives on in the friendships she built and the people she encouraged along the way.
