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.

Cannock are likely to be without internationals Chris Mayer and Paul Edwards, plus their three Olympians, when they entertain the League leaders, Teddington, today, followed by a visit to Loughborough Students in a third-round cup tie tomorrow. Mayer and Edwards both suffered hamstring injuries last weekend.Jason Laslett and Danny Haydon will be absent for Teddington.

Guildford will be without their player-coach, Ian Jennings, who is in hospital withmeningitis, as well as the Olympians Danny Hall and Guy Fordham, for their local derby against Surbiton in today's League fixture and against non-League Old Cranleighans in the Cup tomorrow. Old Cranleighans, with several former internationals in their ranks, could well spring an upset.

Loughborough Students visit Southgate in the League today, before the home side entertain the First Division leaders, Hampstead and Westminster, in the Cup tomorrow.
