After I retired I was missing being at work but then I came across a Remap advert in the Model Engineer magazine.
At Remap we recognise that many of the people we help are at particular risk from coronavirus. In addition, our free service is provided by a network of volunteers, many of whom are retired and at additional risk themselves.
Our priority is to keep everyone safe so we are avoiding face to face contact where possible. You can find our policy statement here. As ever, please contact your nearest Remap group for their advice.
Keep well and stay safe!

I enjoy volunteering for Remap because of the variety of projects you can get involved in. And you couldn’t ask for a friendlier atmosphere!

It is great to be able to use our engineering skills to make something unique like this; it makes a really big difference to someone’s quality of life.
Volunteer – Steve
When I retired I found something was missing from my life; the mental challenges and camaraderie of work. A friend mentioned Remap and he challenged me to take on being the Chairman.
Volunteer – Jill
So far I have been involved with nearly 1,000 cases, each one unique, interesting and challenging. I am still thoroughly enjoying my work for Remap; it is hugely rewarding.
Volunteer – Les
As a former carpenter, I felt that I might be able to make a difference to local disabled people. I have gone on to meet and work with many amazing people as a result.

I read an article about REMAP and thought it would be a great opportunity to share some of my 22 years’ worth of Occupational Therapy knowledge!

In reality volunteering isn’t just about giving, it is also about receiving; it’s a wonderful two-way experience.
