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.

This is the 88th FA Community Shield, as the match is currently called, and holders Chelsea will be taking on United at Wembley for the second time in a row.

The competition has been played under various names and in different formats over the years, and although it is considered something of a friendly, it still presents a real opportunity to make a statement ahead of the new season.

We take a look at some of the memorable moments and classic matches from the Charity Shield.
