Appeals: The National Meningitis Trust
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 National Meningitis Trust starts its annual awareness week today to raise public knowledge about the symptoms and development of the sometimes fatal disease bacterial meningitis. On Tuesday 16 November, too, a concert is being given in aid of the trust by English Concert, at St John's Smith Square, London SW1. Anthony Rolfe Johnson, tenor, Peter Hanson, violin, and Paul Goodwin, oboe, will be performing music by Handel, Bach, Purcell and Rameau. All proceeds will go to the Meningitis Trust, which also funds research into meningitis - including vaccinations against the disease - and helps those affected by meningitis. Tickets are available from the box-office at St John's Smith Square, 071-222 1061.
