Appeals: Dine-a-Mite
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.The British Red Cross, Age Concern, the Salvation Army and the Hotel and Catering Benevolent Fund will all benefit from Dine-a- Mite, a national charitable fund-raising campaign inviting people to dine at participating hotels, restaurants and public houses. These establishments have pledged to give half of tomorrow evening's takings to Dine- a-Mite, which will distribute the money among the four named charities, and other smaller charities which help people who are homeless and hungry. In the past local charities have been the recipients. Each project, small or large, will be scrutinised carefully by Dine-a-Mite before anything is given. It is estimated that some 10 per cent of the British population eat out once a week. Anyone planning to have dinner out tomorrow may contact the following telephone numbers for information about participating establishments: for London, 0891 515525; for the rest of Britain, 0839 300200.
