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.A new charity claims to offer competitive home insurance cover while benefiting good causes.
The Care2Save service lets you choose a charity to receive the commission paid by the insurer when you arrange cover through the service.
Under the deal, four-fifths of the commission paid is passed onto your chosen charity. The remaining fifth goes to the Care2Save Charitable Trust, which promises to distribute all profits to hospices and palliative care projects in the UK and globally.
Behind the idea is Andrea Fragata Ladeira, chief of the Care2Save Charitable Trust and commercial director of St Luke's Hospice: "We are confident it will give people a new way to donate money to charity," she said. "Initially the site has been launched with insurance products, but this will be expanded over to time to other household utilities, such as energy and broadband."
The charity works as an introducer and has three corporate partners: Payplan Financial Services, Cavere, which writes the insurance policies, and Ageas, the underwriter.
Care2Save says that it receives 7.5 per cent commission per transaction. It calculates that if 1,000 people sign up to a home and contents insurance policy through the site, some £16,560 will go to the charities of policyholders' choice and a further £4,140 will go to Care2Save.
