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.

SIMS FOOD Group, the beefburger manufacturer almost wiped out by the BSE crisis, has announced the completion of its strategic review alongside a trading update saying profits should exceed market expectations.

The completion of the review will see chief executive, Stephen Collier, leave in March, having overseen the sale of the fresh retail meats business. Sims will focus on fast food, involving the closure of its Milton Keynes head office with functions moving to the manufacturing site in Hull. Annual cost savings are expected to be pounds 500,000. Paul Harrison has been appointed managing director.
