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.

Heiress Tamara Ecclestone seems to be inheriting her Formula One dad's interest in wheels as she recreates the spirit of the Greased Lightning scene from Grease.

The 28-year-old socialite goes blonde and pops on some black spandex to appear as Sandy from the hit 1970s musical movie for BBC Children In Need.

She has launched an online game called Pudsey's Dream Wheels with Peugeot in the hope of raising more then £150,000 for the charity.

Ecclestone - daughter of F1 boss Bernie - posed with a customised Peugeot 208 to recreate the famous scene from Grease, even though Sandy did not appear in the sequence.

Young fans will be able to create their own custom cars online for free here and for a £3 fee to benefit the charity they can enter them into a competition.
