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.

Sheffield FC, whose proud boast is that they are the world's oldest football club - they were formed in 1856 - are doing their bit to keep both visiting Euro 96 supporters and locals entertained.

Sheffield are taking part in a triangular international tournament along with another local non-League side, Hallam (formed 1860) and the Danish club, Hvidovre, who will play Sheffield at Owlerton Stadium (less than a mile from Hillsborough) on Saturday (12 noon).

On Sunday (11am) Sheffield play Hallam in a summer "derby" while Hallam take on Hvidovre on Monday (7pm) at their Sandygate ground. Further details from Graeme Hinchcliffe on 0114 255 5450.
