We always need more volunteers!

REMAP projects call upon a wide range of skills. These are mainly electrical and mechanical but other skills are frequently called upon. Our members work as teams or individuals depending on the nature of the project.

You don't need to have been a 'professional'; we welcome capable DIY enthusiasts, model makers or anyone with practical skills and especially those with access to machine shop and welding facilities. Our members’ own facilities vary from well-equipped workshops to simple garage benches with a few hand tools but we can usually meet the requirements of our projects by pooling our resources.  

At some point, most referrals will necessitate one or more visits to the client to discuss the problem but there is plenty of scope for members who prefer to work behind the scenes in support of the other members.*

Meetings are normally held on the first Monday in the month in Leeds. The main business of the meetings is allocation of new referrals and a review of progress on existing cases. They are also the forum for ideas or assistance when members encounter unforeseen problems. Regular attendance of meetings is not essential because referrals can be allocated by ‘phone, email or personal contact. Meetings usually last about one hour and at the present time, start at 3-00pm.

The Leeds & Bradford Panel also covers Calderdale and Kirklees and as far as possible, referrals are allocated to minimise travelling time. Travel and material expenses on jobs can be reclaimed.

If you wish to contribute your time and skills, just send us your details by getting in touch through any of the other contacts.

*Please note - To comply with current regulations or guidelines applicable to organisations dealing with potentially vulnerable members of the public, REMAP may be required to check character references from applicants who are likely to be visiting clients.”

Don't be shy, we've all been through the learning curve!
