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.

Hat-wearing is a tricky business. Whether you’re choosing a floppy straw sun hat, a smart formal number or a casual cover-your-bad-hair-day comfort hat, there are a number of pitfalls to watch out for.

If you’re planning a hat purchase in readiness for Ascot, a wedding or anything else requiring the formal glamour of a face veil and a jaunty corsage, then the talent at Kensington and Chelsea College’s award winning millinery department might be able to provide you with a few pointers.

A bunch of the college's budding Philip Treacys will be showcased at a five day exhibition opening next Monday that Hortensia Gallery in London. A vast array of complex, classical and innovative design will be on show, and the student designs are available to purchase.
