Appeals: Cope: the Laura Centre
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.Cope: the Laura Centre offers free confidential help to anyone affected by the death of a child. The centre provides individual, couple and family counselling with professional counsellors; a befriending network, staffed by bereaved parents who have adjusted to their loss; therapeutic support groups; a library; a quiet room for reflection; a Book of Remembrance; and support and consultation for anyone working in the area of bereavement. The centre is most often used by bereaved parents and siblings, but also provides a service to grandparents, friends, neighbours and professional staff; it needs pounds 100,000 each year to maintain the service.
