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.

We all love a bargain and the bigger the better, especially when it comes to furniture and homewares.

Big-ticket items such as sofas, beds and dining chairs are often big investments that make our house feel like a home, and, luckily for you, Wayfair has just launched a mega sale.

Its Save Big, Give Back charity event will see the retailer donate 10 per cent of profits to Shelter, a charity that works to end homelessness in the UK.

It will also be donating a minimum of £100,000 from the sale to support Shelter’s important work in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Running from 2 to 9 August, there are some impressive deals worth snapping up, and we’ve rounded up the very best. Keep reading for our top picks.
