The Muslim Prayer Room in our Spiritual Care Centre, based at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital, has had the full ‘Google Maps’ treatment, with a new 360 degree virtual tour now available to view online.
The tour was facilitated by the Muslim Council of Britain as part of the ‘Visit My Mosque’ initiative, which supported more than 250 mosques across the UK to hold open days. This year, despite the lockdown, #VisitMyMosque went virtual with a series of live virtual tours in June.
The aim of ‘Visit My Mosque’ is to facilitate mosques to welcome in their neighbours from all faiths and none and build bridges across communities.
"We were delighted to take part in the 'Visit My Mosque' programme and the virtual tour of our prayer room facilities looks really impressive. Taking part in the programme demonstrates how space can be found for prayer and reflection. Not just in a traditional mosque environment, but also in our hospital buildings for our colleagues, patients, their families and visitors” said Imam Fazal Hassan, Muslim Chaplaincy Coordinator.
"The Chaplaincy Team are here for anyone who would like a safe space to talk, advice, or to use our facilities in the Spiritual Care Centre, whatever your religious (or non-religious) background."
