Remap is a charity that helps disabled people of all ages to live more independent lives. Our national network of skilled volunteers design and custom-make equipment free of charge. We help to improve quality of life and increase independence for disabled people of all ages, providing solutions to everyday problems when there is nothing commercially available.
Our volunteers respond to thousands of requests for help every year and our service is provided free of charge.
We need more help in the North Dorset area.
Will you to use your practical skills and ingenuity to help people with disabilities live fuller and more independent lives. The role involves meeting an individual who needs our help, then designing and making adaptions and equipment to meet a specific need. Requests for help come from health professionals or directly from the public. We only help where no existing product is commercially available. You will be joining a national network of makers with opportunities for collaboration and showcasing your work.
Project requests come in on a referral basis so work is done on an ad hoc basis.
