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.

WITH all outdoor leagues taking their mid-winter break, hockey this weekend moves indoors up and down the country. The first games in the newly structured Crystal Palace Indoor League get underway this morning at the National Sports Centre in a strong field led by St Albans, the national champions for the last five years and six times winners in all, writes Bill Colwill.

East Grinstead, Teddington and Firebrands, are certain to provide some lively encounters. In the East, the Norwich Union Super League is using its competition to find a representative for the finals of the National Indoor Championships. After the first four series of games, Spalding lead Old Loughtonians on goal difference.

England women's indoor squad, preparing for the European Championship, have their last training weekend at Lilleshall while England's outdoor squad will be at Oakham School, Leicester.
