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.

Friends of Poland, founded 10 years ago, has been taking aid to the ill and needy in Poland since 1982, and, since 1990, to Ukraine and Belorussia. Food, medicines, vitamins, hospital equipment, clothing, toys, and aids for the handicapped are sent to hospitals and homes for handicapped adults and children: there are over 800,000 severely handicapped children in Poland. Leukaemia and cancer of the thyroid are prevalent among children in Ukraine and Belorussia. The charity constantly needs funds, or donations in kind, such as the use of a lorry to journey to Poland and physical help to unload and sort all the items at the charity's warehouse in Kingston upon Thames.

Friends of Poland, St Vincent's, Carlisle Place, London SW1P 1NL, telephone 081-399 3876 or 081-942 0929.
