Swim Serpentine 2025 - own place

Swim with Whisper in Swim Serpentine on Saturday 20 September 2025!

Whisper is a very high-impact 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.

If you would like to fundraise for us, that would be amazing! We hope you will send us your name and e-mail using the form at the bottom of the page, so we can thank you and send you occasional encouragement.

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:

We can offer you:

• personal attention - we're a small organisation
• advice and practical help with fundraising

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
