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.

The activity

Budding Ronaldos will be put through their paces at Eurocamp's (eurocamp.co.uk) Soccer Stations, starting this summer. At selected French sites, FA-qualified coaches will tutor football-crazy boys and girls.

The tent

You thought camping was all about getting some fresh air? Yet Coleman (coleman.eu) has just introduced an air-conditioning system in some of its tents. Not quite as crazy as it sounds if you plan to go camping abroad in a hot destination.

The luggage

Fresh off the production line at Samsonite (samsonite.com), a new range of 'four-wheel' luggage, called Spinners. The high-performance cases are designed to be tough yet light and have a handbrake for handling on slopes. From £250.

The deal

Get 50 per cent off at L'Andana (andana.it), a former hunting lodge in Tuscany. The hotel, which has a restaurant by Alain Ducasse, is offering the discount on Sunday and Monday nights, with b&b from £254 per room per night, 30 May to 30 June.
