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.

RETIRED homeowners who are considering making repairs and improvements to their homes will find guidance on applying for local authority grants in In Good Repair, a free booklet published by Care & Repair.

The guide also gives advice on obtaining mortgages and loans, making adaptations for people with disabilities, deciding what work needs to be done and finding good builders. Single copies are free (with a 34p SAE) and batches of 10 cost pounds 7.50.

Care & Repair, 22a The Ropewalk, Nottingham, NG1 5DT.
