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.

Hambro Insurance reported a drop in pre-tax profits from pounds 11.09m to pounds 10.9m for the year to 31 March and held the dividend at 5.55p. Earnings per share fell from 10p to 9.4p. Christopher Sporborg, chairman, said dividend cover of two times "remains our medium-term aim", but "if further underlying progress is achieved as expected during the next 12 months, we would intend this to be reflected in an increased dividend to shareholders".
