WuduMate Classic in Police station in Australia
This Australian Police force chose the WuduMate Classic for their ablution room.
WuduMate Classic is an easily installed wudu washing appliance designed for commercial buildings such as offices, schools, hospitals, prisons, public buildings and leisure venues.
With an integral, virtually indestructible seat, which has been tested to over three tons, the WuduMate Classic is suitable for installation in the most inhospitable environments such as prisons, inner-city schools and unmonitored public places.
The WuduMate Classic comes with purpose-built taps, which have been designed with the spout in a comfortable position for wudu, and the fall of the water positioned to minimise splashing. Not only does the WuduMate Classic provide the user with a safe, comfortable position for wudu, but it also benefits building owners and facilities managers by protecting the fabric of buildings from water damage.

WuduMate Classics in LaGuardia Airport, New York

One of them has been positioned at a distance from the others, with a grab bar on the wall, so that it can be more easily used by people with limited mobility.
WuduMate Classic in a Stylish Home Bathroom
This customer had a space in their home bathroom area that was just perfect for the WuduMate Classic. They installed a towel rail directly above the unit to facilitate drying the feet after wudu. The unit blends in beautifully with the marble wall and floor tiles, to provide an area that is perfect for safe and comfortable wudu before prayers.
WuduMate Classic in a Newcastle Hospital
We were very pleased to hear from the Newcastle Hospitals Charity this week. They have been fundraising to set up a wudu facility for staff patients and visitors to the Freeman Hospital
They chose the WuduMate Classic for the wudu area and this has now been installed.
The following case study comes from the Newcastle Hospitals Charity Impact Report for 2023/24, which can be downloaded here
Wuḍu is the Islamic procedure for cleansing parts of the body before prayers and is a vital part of daily life for practising Muslims. The Chaplaincy team at Newcastle Hospitals were concerned that staff facilities for the practice of Wudu at the Freeman were substandard and not in keeping with the Trust’s aim to create a workplace where people feel valued.
The team received a grant for the conversion of an existing storeroom at the Freeman Hospital into an ablution room for use by Muslim staff, patients and visitors. The grant enabled a complete refurbishment of the space including asbestos removal, improvements to the walls, flooring and ceilings, and internal decoration. It is expected that the facility will be used on a daily basis by Muslim staff, patients and visitors.
Katie Watson, Head of Chaplaincy of Newcastle Hospitals said:
“This facility will have a huge impact on the spiritual and theological wellbeing of our Muslim staff, as well as on patients and their relatives. The grant enables us to support, retain and care for our Muslim staff by ensuring that their dignity and beliefs are recognised.”

Wellbeing Room in UK Police station featuring WuduMate Classic
We were delighted to hear that a police force in the UK has invested in wellbeing rooms in some of its offices.
One of the project team said “I understand the critical need for supportive environments when navigating challenging discussions.”
These beautiful peaceful rooms, providing space for prayer, meditation, or just a quiet time out, are bound to be well received both by staff and visitors to these premises. The inclusion of a comfortable and dignified wudu facility will be a comfort to Muslim visitors at what could be a stressful time.

This school was situated in an area of higher population density and higher percentage of ethnic minorities than the city averages. At the time, it was seeing good academic progress from the pupils, and this has continued in more recent years.
“The deputy head teacher was delighted with the decisions to install WuduMate ablution appliances and to create more open plan toilet areas, saying that staff and students alike were showing pride in the new facilities and feeling that the school had set a standard for others to follow. ”

“A Muslim doctor expressed his gratitude to the Trust for providing the WuduMate and the local MP until 2019, Sarah Newton, was also impressed.

This school in Manchester chose five WuduMate Classic units, with custom fitting non-slip matting, to furnish their Wudu Ablution area.
They have added a sign by each unit, explaining its purpose. This will be educational for the non-Muslim students who may not be familiar with the practice of wudu.
This smart and functional pre-prayer ablution area will make prayer time easier and more comfortable for the Muslim students.

““The general feeling was that the wudu facilities would be popular, but until Hajj, we didn’t really appreciate how much they were needed,” said Canon Baldwin. Footfall into the chapel was much increased and a further multi-faith room was later opened in the North Terminal. ”
