Your support helps us to tell the story

Support Now

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.

The kit

New on the slopes this winter, Portaski is a clever little energy-saving gadget. Adjustable straps secure your skis while the lightweight wheel-sled bears up to 70 per cent of the weight. Price £29.95, for further information go to www.portaski.com.

The childcare

Eurocamp has teamed up with Tumble Tots to offer free childcare at a selection of its campsites. The play provider will offer complementary sessions at Eurocamp's "Toddler Friendly" sites in the Vendee and Brittany. For details go to www.eurocamp.co.uk.

The hotel

Premier Inn has unveiled plans for Britain's first floating budget hotel. The 54-bedroom "Floatel" will be built in Hartlepool Marina this year, offering waterfront views at the company's customary budget prices. Go to www.premierinn.com.

Two-for-one spa experiences and savings on flights of up to 75 per cent are among the bargains being offered by lastminute.com in its biggest ever sale. Theatre tickets, hotel accommodation and restaurant deals also feature in the clearance, which ends on 5 January.
