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.

IT IS hard not to feel overwhelmed by the inexorably mounting numbers of mail-order catalogues that arrive in the post at this time of year. A good proportion of the charitable ones will include at least some gardening items, but there are also some more specialist horticultural charity brochures, which offer a range of Christmas cards and potential gifts. If you can bear to add to the number you already have, I suggest you call to ask for those issued by the Royal Horticultural Society (0870 6066366); and the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Fund (01372 373962). For a wide range of gardening equipment, furniture and knick-knacks, together with Christmas gifts for the horticulturally obsessed, you may like to try the Traditional Garden Supply (0870 6007788).
