Whisper is a very high-impact Somerset-based charity that funds a children's hospital, a maternity unit, a free ambulance and a nursing school in Jinja, Uganda. We achieve all this on an annual donation budget of around £250,000. Every £22 donated allows us to treat a child, an average that includes some lengthy inpatient stays. We estimate that every £279 donated saves a life that would not otherwise have been saved.
The Bath Half Marathon is south west England's largest fundraising event, with 15000 runners. You can find out more about the event on the official site.
In return for a place we'd like you to donate or commit to raising at least £200 for us.
Let's take a quick tour of some of the things we do. This is Whisper's hospital; the hospital opened on another site in 2016 and moved to this building in 2018:
This is the ambulance in front of the hospital:
This is one of our operating theatres:
This is our delivery room in the maternity unit:
This is a lecture in our nursing school:
We can offer you:
- personal attention - we're a small organisation
- no registration fee
- you won't find a lower fundraising target
- an individual running vest, with a wide range of colours to choose from
- 3-month training app subscription
- advice and practical help with fundraising
For the running vest and the training app subscription, you will need to reach an intermediate fundraising target to qualify.
I cannot tell you how inspiring this charity is. They do incredible work. I am raising money for Whisper but the support I am getting from them is fantastic. I have never had this before when raising money for charity. a previous runner in the London Marathon
