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.

Donations to The Independent's Christmas appeal for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) could help fund crucial heart monitors for sick children, actor Rupert Everett said today.

The 56-year-old backed Give to GOSH in a special video message filmed as part of a 12 Days of Christmas series of celebrity endorsements.

On the eighth day, he said: “Your donation to the Give to GOSH appeal could help fund portable heart monitors so that the doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital can observe their young patients heartbeats.

“Thank you for supporting our appeal and have a fantastic Christmas.”

Everett, who starred in Shrek and the Julia Roberts hit My Best Friend’s Wedding, joins names including Gillian Anderson, Emilia Fox and John Bishop in supporting our campaign.

A key strand of the appeal aims to help fund a new specialist cardiac unit at GOSH where young patients can stay well while they wait for a heart transplant.
