Swim Serpentine 2025 - own place
Swim with Whisper in Swim Serpentine on Saturday 20 September 2025!
| This is the page for you if you've already paid for your own place in Swim Serpentine and you're thinking of fundraising for Whisper. If you don't have your own place and you want one of our charity places then go here instead. |
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
