Appeals: War Child
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.War Child, a newly formed charity aiming to raise funds to help child victims of war throughout the world, is staging a music and arts festival at the Royal Festival Hall, London. The event takes place over this weekend and next, Saturday/Sunday 6/7 March. It will comprise four performances of classical, contemporary and rock and pop music, as well as comedy. There will be films at the National Film Theatre, a photography exhibition and illustrated talks. The festival begins this evening with a candlelit vigil on the banks of the Thames by Gabriel's Wharf, starting at 10pm, in remembrance of all those children who have perished through war, especially those now suffering in Bosnia. Donations of blankets and clothes can be made tonight and at dawn a convoy of loaded lorries will set off for Sarajevo.
