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 holidaying in the UK grows in popularity, the National Trust has stepped in to save a kilometre of Welsh coastline from the growing army of "staycationers".

If it succeeds in acquiring the land on the south-west tip of the Llyn peninsula, it will be the biggest piece of coastline the trust has secured for five years.

"It's a place that's been at grave risk of inappropriate development and [one] we want to purchase and protect forever," said Paul Lewis of the National Trust.

"This is a true jewel in our national coastline; a home to a fragile community that depends on the sea for its very existence, as well as being a delicate ecosystem of rare plant and wildlife."

The National Trust is launching an appeal to fund the £3m acquisition.
