Letter: Charities working hard for their money - and supporting the Exchequer
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.Sir: Christ Blackhurst is quite wrong about the National Trust. We do more and more to encourage people with young families to visit our properties. Family membership allows two adults and any number of children to make an unlimited number of visits in a year and costs only pounds 48. We now have 683,293 family members. Half a million school children visit our properties each year.
