CHAIR'S FOREWORD

As I write this, we have just appointed our fifth regional coordinator to complete the team covering all areas of England, Wales, and Scotland. It is great to know that we have regional representation back, not only to support the work of the existing panels but also to seek opportunities to set up new ones where we have geographical gaps. No one pretends this is easy, and we all know that the volunteering landscape has fundamentally changed across the country since the pandemic. The good news is that we are seeing more volunteers than ever coming from a wider range of cultures and backgrounds and, increasingly, from a younger demographic. But where volunteers are still employed, branches must be more open to new ways of working to meet our objective of helping as many people as possible who need our services. These are exciting times for the charity, but it is going to take effort from all of us; trustees, staff, volunteers, OTs (Occupational Therapists), donors and partners to ensure we meet the new challenges of the post-Covid era in our Diamond Jubilee year of 2024 and beyond.

The trustees welcomed Dayna Ferdinandi to the board in June 2022. She brings her extensive fundraising experience and is the fundraising director of the charity Dystonia UK. We are also continuing to strengthen the trustee board with a varied mix of skills and experiences from various professions, charity backgrounds, volunteers, and service users to provide the best oversight available to the charity.

Thankfully, during the year, we have been able to remove the restrictions placed on volunteers required by the government’s Covid-19 regulations. However, it is important to note that many volunteers carried on with the essential service that REMAP provides throughout this period and since the regulations were lifted, the only change is an uptick in the number of referrals they have dealt with.

Our service is delivered free to the clients partly because our volunteers donate their time and skills, but we must remember to thank the individual donors, companies, and charitable trusts who make our work possible. Finally, I would like to recognise the amount of support we get from legacies from previous volunteers and those we have helped. It is a crucial element of our funding, and we know it comes from the heart, which makes it even more special.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to or supported REMAP’s important work this year. Let us strive towards next year being even better.

If you have not done so yet please check out our new website at www.remap.org.uk (which, incidentally, for the first time ever, is at the top of the search list when you type “REMAP.”)

We design and custom-make equipment for individuals because everyone’s needs are different.

We provide solutions to everyday problems when there is nothing commercially available.

Our network of skilled volunteers responds to thousands of requests for our help every year.

We provide our service free of charge.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

REMAP is a national organisation operating in England, Scotland, and Wales with 67 local branches that operate with high autonomy within nationally set guidelines. The local branches are led by volunteers, usually including a Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. As well as volunteers skilled at designing and manufacturing equipment, many branches also benefit from volunteer Occupational Therapists and others who lead on publicity, fundraising, and the like.

As part of REMAP’s ongoing national 'virtual' office, the charity includes the following personnel:

Together they are responsible for managing the charity’s operations and implementing the strategies and objectives set by the board of trustees.

Governance

REMAP has five trustee committees called ‘Working Groups’ in the following areas:

These groups meet at least annually or more frequently as necessary and report to the Trustee board accordingly.

Risk Management

The charity’s major risks and opportunities are discussed and reviewed with the business cycle and budget process. The trustees confirm that all major risks have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

www.remap.org.uk | 6

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

REMAP’s charitable purpose is to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, treating each as an individual. The charity’s objects and aims, as set out in the Articles of Association, are to meet the needs of disabled people, irrespective of their race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, or ethnic origin, by providing technological solutions designed to address their needs.

More specifically, it seeks to achieve these objects through designing, manufacturing, and supplying custom-made equipment to meet the individual requirements of disabled people, where commercially available products cannot satisfactorily meet their needs.

REMAP delivers its services through volunteer branch members, mainly engineers, technicians, and craftspeople, many of whom have their own workshop facilities. Additionally, health professionals provide a vital clinical perspective on solutions. Many branches recruit members with skills beyond the workshop and health care and look for volunteers with skills in fundraising, finance, administration, and publicity. In this way, REMAP can provide custom-made equipment without incurring the costs normally associated with this type of design and production. Supporters frequently provide materials and access to more specialised workshop facilities, as well as funds to cover the modest operating costs of the local REMAP branches.

REMAP’s custom-made equipment is given free of charge to recipients, so its construction and supply earn no revenues. For the volunteers, the main reward is the satisfaction that is derived from helping people with a disability achieve what would not otherwise be possible for them. REMAP volunteers also enjoy the challenge of solving the problems presented and the opportunity to use and develop their skills.

Apart from the small paid staff team, all REMAP’s work is carried out by approximately 800 volunteers, making it a very efficient organisation. Volunteers spend an estimated 50,000 hours working on projects in a normal year. By incorporating the invaluable contributions of health professionals, donated materials, and workshop overheads, a conservative estimate indicates an annual value of the volunteering resource to be over £5 million. This means that every £1 donated equates to approximately £15.

LIZZIE GETS CREATIVE

Lizzie has Cerebral Palsy, which means she cannot use her hands for tasks like painting. Lizzie likes to participate

in art therapy sessions but being in a wheelchair makes it difficult for her to paint on a commercially available easel. A device was made for her some time ago which allows a paintbrush to be attached to a cycling helmet. However, this was difficult for her to use, as it kept slipping and was uncomfortable to wear. Her painting therapist Simon had to hold her painting attached to a board so she could reach it.

After discussions with Simon, a new device was created for Lizzie by Volunteer Engineer, Peter. The device holds her paintbrush firmly to an adjustable head harness, giving her better control over what she paints. Peter also adapted her easel to lean forwards and clamp onto a table, helping to aid Lizzie’s posture.

The two adapted devices enable Lizzie to now paint for longer in comfort. She also has more direct control over the process, becoming less reliant on Simon to help her with her beautiful creations.

DELIVERING THE SERVICE

Here are some recent comments from clients and their families.

I’d like to thank you for what REMAP have done for Kane. I can honestly say that I had no idea of the sheer amount of work involved when I asked whether REMAP could solve Kane's problems with his inability to switch from driving his chair to using his mounted tablet. - Kane's mother

Peter and REMAP’s service has been excellent and has made it a really easy process. He listened to what we needed and used his initiative and expertise to find something suitable for Lawson. - Lawson's mother.

“Thanks to the help of Remap Volunteers, it now means I can take my son out and have quality time with him.”

- Katherine, a REMAP client

These comments and REMAP's outputs demonstrate the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. They use their knowledge and skills to help others and their contribution enables us to continue to offer our services. They are based in branches which operate across England, Wales, and Scotland. Some of these branches are large, completing 100+ projects or more every year for people in their local communities. Other branches are relatively small with a handful of volunteers. However, our volunteers all share a desire to solve problems and help those who need their ingenuity, providing an important local service which puts the needs of individuals foremost. Most branches have the potential to help more, so raising our profile remains a top priority.

HELPING ARTIST AND CELEBRITY ALISON LAPPER

Alison Lapper MBE is an artist, television presenter, speaker, and a well-known public figure who regularly gives talks about her life.

Alison has been involved with REMAP for many years. Recently, she got in touch with the Brighton & District Branch to ask for some support for a major dilemma affecting her ability to travel across the UK and overseas.

Alison uses a significantly lighter wheelchair for travel compared to the much heavier wheelchair she uses at home. However, the travel wheelchair did not quite suit Alison's needs. It was very uncomfortable and needed modifying to improve comfort and control.

Volunteers at the local branch met with Alison to see what adaptations should be made to make the wheelchair more suitable. The successful solution involved ingenuity and carefully crafted metalwork by volunteer engineer Mike.

An attachment for the wheelchair was made to create the correct height and position for the joystick controls. This involved designing a mounting bracket assembly from stainless steel, moveable in four directions and attached to the wheelchair. The depth of the seat was extended so that Alison could use an extended cushion from her old chair on this new platform. The footrest, height and width were also adapted, and a non-slip mat was added.

Now, Alison can proceed with her travel plans confidently and comfortably in her travel wheelchair.

This has created an enormous difference for Alison in her everyday life. She explains: “Without REMAP’s help, I could not have anticipated the increased comfort of using this new wheelchair for my travels. They are a fantastic charity, with work done by hundreds of volunteers across the UK using many different skills”.

FUNDING

We operate in a highly competitive funding environment and have been successful in raising funds from a wide range of sources. Diversifying our funding base is a key objective for REMAP. This includes charitable trusts, foundations, companies, and individuals, including legacies. We were grateful to receive the second year of funding of £49,000 from the National Lottery England for our Reaching Out Programme.

SOLUTION HUB (FORMERLY MAKEABILITY)

REMAP hosts an online community where anyone interested in creating equipment for disabled people can discuss their projects, upload designs and ideas, seek help from others, and support our work. It has over 700 registered users who have shared over 1,755 projects to serve as a library of what is possible and inspire others looking for solutions.

It also has a members-only area which contains REMAP’s Operations Manual, guidelines, policies, and extensive online resources to help our volunteers.

www.remap.org.uk | 12

RAISING AWARENESS

In the past year, the charity has been actively engaged in various activities to raise awareness and expand its reach, embarking on a comprehensive rebranding initiative and investing in developing a new website. It was important to ensure the new website was both user-friendly and accessible, enabling our clients to access our services and information easily. This also enabled us to improve our position digitally, focussing on improving the search engine optimisation so people needing help can find REMAP more easily in search engines.

Our volunteer recruitment campaigns yielded exceptional results. Our targeted advertisements lead to a remarkable 600% increase in our combined social media reach, growing from reaching 80,000 people through social media in 2021 to an impressive 580,000 people.

Networking with Occupational Therapists is important, and REMAP has attended regional OTAC (Occupational Therapy Adaptation Conference) shows, and the Occupational Therapy Show held annually at the NEC in Birmingham. These highly successful events raised awareness for our cause and facilitated valuable connections with Occupational Therapists.

Collaborating with Think Publishing, REMAP supported the launch of the ‘We Are Able’ campaign, a dynamic initiative to empower individuals with disabilities. This campaign has allowed us to share impactful social media updates and stories with their extensive audience of over 1 million individuals.

Furthermore, REMAP is proud to have been featured in numerous news outlets, blogs, and publications, giving us the opportunity to amplify our message and broaden our reach to a wider audience. These activities have played a pivotal role in raising awareness about our charity and mission.

Many articles and adverts have been published across printed and digital platforms, including the following. We thank them for their interest and support:

MAKING THINGS POSSIBLE FOR LAWSON & GIVING PETER FULFILMENT

Lawson is one year old and has Achondroplasia (Dwarfism), so finding equipment that is suitable for Lawson can be difficult. Lawson also has low muscle tone and hypermobility which makes his joints very flexible and painful.

Lawson’s physiotherapy sessions indicated a trike would help him exercise and encourage muscle tone development. However, his physiotherapist could not find a suitable trike that allowed Lawson to reach the floor, handlebars, or pedals. Lawson's Mother, Chelsea, began researching and discovered REMAP.

Local volunteer maker and engineer Peter Symes, who works within the West Midlands REMAP branch, joined REMAP in 2022. Peter had a motorcycle accident in 2019 whilst competitively racing, resulting in a 7-month hospital stay, and during which he was placed on life support with major injuries, including a broken back and losing the use of his leg. When he was discharged from the hospital, he became fed up and wanted to use his engineering skills to make a difference. Peter found an opportunity at REMAP, and a couple of months later, he was tasked with adapting the trike for Lawson to make it suitable for the young boy’s needs.

Peter adapted the trike to be three inches shorter and lower, and this simple change has already made an impact on Lawson, as explained by his mother, Chelsea:

"Lawson has been unable to use traditional or high street trikes or bikes as he could not reach the floor or the handlebars. Although Lawson is still working out how to use the pedals on the trike, he can now sit on the trike comfortably and reach the floor. This means he is now learning how to push himself on the trike and is able to try to build his muscle tone by using his legs more."

"Peter and REMAP’s service has been excellent and has made it a really easy process. He listened to what we needed and used his initiative and expertise to find something suitable for Lawson."

Thanks to volunteers like Peter at REMAP, equipment and adaptations are being made nationwide to benefit those with many different disabilities.

A RAISED BALCONY FOR BRIAN

For several years, Brian has used a wheelchair and, as a result, has been unable to access the balcony at his home. The geometry of both the room and the balcony and the restriction of ramp lengths that can be used provided a unique challenge.

REMAP received a request to help provide Brian with the opportunity to enjoy nature and the fresh air outside on his balcony.

The solution was to raise the balcony level using wood joists and decking and increase the number of handrails along the balcony from two to three. The room width would not allow a single ramp to be used, so an intermediate platform was built.

Now Brian can access his balcony whenever he wants to and enjoy the changing seasons.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Statements

The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 are set out on pages 21 - 23. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have set a reserves policy that targets a minimum of equivalent to 6 months’ normal expenditure. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. They regard this limit as the minimum that will allow for the orderly conduct of the charity’s business and obligations in what is a particularly uncertain funding climate and, at the same time, the maximum that could be regarded as a proper use of donated funds. Funds held by branches are expected to comply with this policy, but there will be local variations.

During the year, the Trustees reviewed REMAP’s reserve allocation policy and confirmed the previous policy allowing all funds held by branches, if not restricted, to be designated for the local delivery of REMAP’s service to the disabled.

The Trustees also decided that designated funds should include an allocation for the key risks faced by REMAP.

Investment Policy

Any balance of funds not required for immediate expenditure is currently held with investment managers. In 2022, £165,812 was invested with Charles Stanley following the transfer of funds from REMAP Scotland.

During the year REMAP placed an additional amount of £200,000 with BlackRock Charities Growth & Income Fund.

17 | www.remap.org.uk

Investment Performance

Total interest and dividends received was £7,362 - the bulk of which came from Charles Stanley.

Any Funds in Deficit

There are no funds in deficit.

Reserves

Of total reserves of £598,754 at 31 March 2023, £433,582 had been classified as designated. This includes funds held by nationwide branches for local use and an allocation for the key risks faced by Remap.

Restricted funds of £35,935 comprises of grants for specific use. The grant of £98,000 received in 2022 and 2023 from National Lottery Community Fund for Reaching Out had been fully spent by 31 March 2023.

Public Benefit

The charity has complied with the guidance on public benefit requirements in accordance to Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up

Independent Examiner

Neil Thomas FCA was re-appointed as Independent Examiner at the AGM in September 2022.

However, since then, he has resigned from the role and the Trustees have appointed Frances Wilde, FCCA DChA of Warner Wilde Limited, Chartered Certified Accountants and Registered Auditors. It is proposed that she should be reappointed at the forthcoming 2023 AGM.

This report is made by the trustees and signed on their behalf by the Chair of Trustees on 7th September 2023.

Peter Cattermole, Chair of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

REMAP 2010 is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 9 West End, Kemsing, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN15 6PX.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at recoverable value.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
