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.

Siblu (0871 911 2288; siblu.com) is hoping to lure weary parents to its holiday parks in France with the promise of bolstering a family holiday with a health and wellbeing break. Saunas, hot tubs and massages feature at a number of its venues, such as Le Bois Masson, in St-Jean-de-Monts in the Vendée. Seven nights here cost from £735 for up to six sharing a two-bedroom chalet. Treatments are extra.

Thomson Al Fresco (0871 231 3293; thomsonalfresco.co.uk) is getting in appropriately sporty mood this year, rolling out Summer Games at seven parks across Spain, France, and Italy. Volleyball and baseball tournaments promise to unite the nations, with British classics, such as egg and spoon races, to keep the competition light-hearted. A one-week stay at the Sanguli Parc on the Costa Dorada in Spain, in a three-bed mobile home sleeping up to six, costs from £1,377 including ferry crossings.

Deals on summer holidays are being offered by Canvas Holidays (0845 268 0827; canvasholidays.co.uk) this summer. For example, seven nights at Camp Site Lanterna on the Istrian Peninsula in Croatia costs £678 for a family of four sharing a two-bed mobile home. Return flights to Pula are currently available from Gatwick, Birmingham, and Manchester from £159 per person with Thomson (0871 231 4787; flights.thomson.co.uk).
