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.

Sheree Murphy, 31, who played Tricia Dingle in 'Emmerdale', is supporting Child Trust Fund Week.

If I weren't talking to you right now I'd be...

Getting ready to pick up the kids from school and nursery.

A phrase I use far too often is...

"Oh my God."

I wish people would take more notice of...

Cruelty to children. My mum had a horrific upbringing. She grew up fine, but there are stories she's told me about others that had such traumatic experiences.

A common misperception of me is...

That I'm a spoilt footballer's wife. I am quite spoilt, but I'm very down to earth.

I'm good at...

Tap dancing.

But I'm very bad at...

Cooking.

In a nutshell, my philosophy is this:

To live every day like it's your last and to be happy. I can't bear to be around miserable people.
