Remap Berkshire make tailor-made equipment at no cost, for people with disabilities

Last updated: 02/04/2024

Remap makes free bespoke disability equipment for those situations where no commercial aid exists. We work through a nationwide network of dedicated engineers who 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.

Remap’s unique pieces of special equipment are tailor-made and given free to the people who need them.

Remap make or modify equipment when nothing suitable is available through mainstream sources. Items are tailor-made to match individual needs and to make a real difference to people’s ability to rise to a particular challenge and achieve something not otherwise possible for them.
