Finding Groups in Herefordshire and Worcestershire

Description

Remap exists to design and make, or adapt, equipment for people with disabilities where no suitable alternative is available. This service is provided free to you and is delivered entirely by volunteers.

Remap Herefordshire is one of more than 80 regional Panels, and the volunteers who visit you are experienced engineers or craftsmen with access to a wide variety of skills and expertise.

We prefer to work in conjunction with a health professional (for example an Occupational Therapist) so that the equipment we provide or modify does not compromise your health or well-being. It is important that you discuss your needs with them and that they are involved from the earliest stage.
