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.”

A hospital has installed a WuduMate Compact which is ideal for this area as the stool can be neatly stowed away over the unit to optimise space around it.

WuduMate Mobile in a Care facility in America
This customer chose the WuduMate Mobile to furnish their prayer area. This is a great choice for when plumbing is not easily available near the room that is chosen for ablution and prayer. As the name suggests the WuduMate Mobile can be wheeled from room to room, so it is perfect if there are some people with limited mobility.
The prayer room has been further furnished with a shoe rack and shelves to store prayer mats.
WuduMate Classic Installed in a Hospital
The WuduMate Classic fits perfectly in this hospital wudu facility.
The Classic has been fitted with an auto sensor tap to make it as easy as possible for patients and staff members to wash themselves without spreading germs.
