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.

Courier firm CitySprint is to recruit an extra 600 workers across the UK amid continuing growth in deliveries.

The new couriers will join the 3,500 vans, bikes and cars that CitySprint already uses, supporting the particular increase in the retail and healthcare sectors.

The new couriers will also help to ensure we continue to hit, and exceed, our targets in the London area

Chief operations officer Mark Footman said: “Our focus is always on providing our clients with the best and smoothest-possible service and, in turn, helping them do the same for their customers.

“We are committed to deliver a first-class service to each of our clients all year round so we’re pulling out all the stops to ensure the fleet is prepared to face anything that comes our way in the coming months as the business continues to grow.

“The new couriers will also help to ensure we continue to hit, and exceed, our targets in the London area, which has seen service levels increase dramatically over the last year.”
