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 Brits do love a good old moan. And with a colder-than-usual winter plus a continuing recession hampering our cheerfulness it's become fertile ground for the nation's army of Grumpy Old Men and Women. Research by Benenden Healthcare Society shows what a bunch of whingers we are. Whether it's the weather or the commute there are truly millions of things we can – and do – moan about. On average we spend almost half an hour griping about stuff each and every day.

As we begin 2010 however, do we really want to continue the moaning trend? According to Benenden the key to cutting the moaning, and in turn boosting our mood and mental attitude, is largely within our grasp. By taking regular exercise, having a healthy diet and adopting a positive mental attitude, we can dramatically improve our mental and physical wellbeing.

Benenden Healthcare Society is one of the UK's oldest and most respected healthcare mutual organisations, priding itself on the relationship it has with its members and the first-class exceptional and affordable healthcare it provides for families, individuals and employers. To help you adopt a positive mental attitude for 2010 Benenden is giving you the chance to win a Ferrari driving day experience.
