How we work

Remap has a network of around 1000 volunteers organised into 80 local panels across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

To find your local panel, click here.  If you need help and live in Scotland, please contact Remap Scotland, click here to go to their website.  There is also an independent charity on the Isle of Man, please phone 01624 825903 for details.

Remap volunteers are professional engineers, craftspeople, technicians, healthcare professionals and skilled helpers, who freely give their time and expertise to improve the lives of others.

When a referral is received by a Remap panel  a visit to the client is arranged to discuss what it is they want to be able to do and what barriers stand in the way of their doing it.  If possible, the visit will be a joint one with the client's occupational therapist or other health professional, but in any event the panels have clinical expertise to draw on where necessary.

The challenge will be discussed and solutions considered, drawing where necessary on the wealth of experience the whole network possesses.  Equipment is designed and made to solve the client’s specific problem, or a standard product can be modified to suit. 

Remap will not be able to help if there is a suitable solution to the problem commercially available; we do not aim to replicate items available from other sources.
