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.

Phil Taylor will pay for 16 darts players of varying ages and abilities to compete for places on the professional circuit.

Taylor's scheme will see the players sent to the Professional Darts Players Association Qualifying School. They will be selected from competitions and regional finals to be held across the United Kingdom.

"It could be anybody," said the 15-time world champion. We are looking for someone who is like a sponge, in that they soak up information and advice. It doesn't matter what age they are or what their ability is."
