For over 30 years Magherafelt Women's Group has supported local women with affordable courses, training, personal development and on-site childcare through the Learning Lodge and Kidz Lodge.
Magherafelt Women's Group is a cross-community centre that embraces the needs of local women. We relieve poverty, advance education and protect health by offering affordable facilities for social welfare, education, recreation and leisure — giving every woman somewhere to go, socialise, learn new skills and gain qualifications that enhance their CV and confidence.
Our Learning Lodge delivers accredited and informal courses, while our Kidz Lodge provides trusted childcare so parents can attend classes, training or simply take time for themselves.
A friendly, non-judgemental community centre built around real local needs.
From training and education to childcare and community connection, our services are designed to fit around the women who use them.
Affordable training classes, accredited courses and workshops that build new skills and boost qualifications for reasonable prices.
Trusted, on-site childcare that lets parents attend courses, training and appointments with real peace of mind.
A cross-community meeting place where women can socialise, form friendships and support one another.
Programmes focused on confidence, wellbeing and life skills for women facing social or economic barriers.
Guidance and qualifications that help women re-enter education, training or the workplace with confidence.
A welcoming Magherafelt venue available for local groups, classes and community activities.
"The Kidz Lodge meant I could finally go back to a course knowing my daughter was safe and happy just down the hall. It changed everything for me."
"I walked in knowing nobody and walked out with a qualification and a group of friends I still see every week. A brilliant, welcoming place."
"A genuinely cross-community space that puts local women first. Affordable, friendly and run by people who care."
Whether you're looking to join a course, need childcare support, or just want to find out more — we'd love to hear from you.
