REMAP’s unique pieces of special equipment are tailor-made by volunteer experts and given free to the people who need them.
REMAP is organised into regional groups called Panels and this is the local website of the Leicestershire & Rutland REMAP Panel .

Who are we & what do we do:
REMAP is a very special charity, working through a nationwide network of dedicated volunteers formed into panels like ours.
Our engineers use their ingenuity and skills to help people with disabilities to achieve much-desired independence in some aspect of their lives, or to enjoy leisure opportunities previously closed to them.
Because, as well as being inventive and skilful, they also care about people in their local communities who have disabilities.
Our volunteers think these people matter a great deal - enough to give their time and energies for free, taking the trouble to ensure that each item they make really suits the individual person concerned and does the job it is meant to do.
Our appliances are made to measure specifically where 'off the shelf' solutions are not available for a clients' unique problem.
What we can not do:
We may customise a commercial solution for a client such as the baby walker in the slide show above (was specially lowered) but will not compete with commercially available equipment or service suppliers.
Ramps for wheelchairs into residences is quite a common example of work that can be done by commercial suppliers or healthcare services. See our Advice Page for more information on Ramps
Should a suitable device or service be available commercially then unfortunately it is not considered a REMAP job.
