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.As our Give to GOSH appeal enters its final stages we launch today a final auction of exciting lots which readers can bid for online – perhaps picking up the perfect Valentine Day’s gift along the way.
The headline item is a tux worn by James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, at a red-carpet event – and signed by him too. Also up for grabs are luxury hotel stays in the UK and abroad, stunning artwork and jewellery, as well as an Arsenal signed shirt and the chance to visit the Rolls-Royce factory.
Like previous auctions, the bidding is powered by Givergy Access, the fundraising platform for charities to raise money by offering exclusive items and experiences that aren’t available elsewhere.
Bidding opens today and will close at 9pm on Tuesday 9 February.
For more information about all the lots - and to make your bid - please visit www.givergy.com/charity/gosh

‘A pleasure to support Give to GOSH’ – Tim Stansbury, Managing Director, Givergy
“It’s been an absolute pleasure supporting such an incredible cause as well as building a long lasting partnership with the charity.
Our journey with GOSH started in 2009 and since then we’ve helped them raise a phenomenal amount through a variety of our fundraising platforms.
We are beyond pleased with the amount raised during the #GivetoGOSH campaign on www.givergy.com. This further demonstrates the influential power technology can play in fundraising, as we evolve from live event platforms to online auctions and community engagement .
We look forward to working with GOSH and our other charity partners in their upcoming fundraising ventures both in the UK and across the globe.”
