Appeals: The Ruth Hayman 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 Ruth Hayman Trust was set up in 1983 to help refugees, asylum-seekers or immigrants in Britain to learn English. The trust is named after Ruth Hayman, a South African lawyer and promoter of racial equality who came to live in Britain after a prolonged period of house arrest in her own country and who then co-founded the National Association for Teaching English and other Community Languages to Adults. The trust gives grants, up to pounds 200 per person, to those having genuine difficulties paying for their English-language or vocational studies, their course and exam fees, textbooks or travelling expenses. The trust, which is run entirely by volunteers, urgently needs to raise funds to continue its work.
