Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As Christmas hurtles towards us and the weather turns colder, the enterprising people at the National Trust are hosting nationwide events to cater for both eventualities. In Cumbria there's a wildlife workshop where participants can make their own birdboxes and feeding tables - wardens will be on hand to help (St Catherine's Base, Windermere, 11 Dec, 2-5pm).

At Dunham Massey Hall in Cheshire, meanwhile, there is a chance to experience old seasonal traditions and make your own Christmas pudding and pomander (0161-928 4351, 13 and 14 Dec, 1.45-3.30pm). Booking is advised for both events.

For further details call 0171-222 9251 (Mon-Fri) or visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk
