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.

Headed by Richard Wollenberg, who runs Cardiff Property, it is the latest start-up aiming to offer support to up-and-coming companies. The four directors have 31 per cent of the capital and fund manager Jupiter Asset Management has taken a 15 per cent stake.

Industrial Control Services jumped 8p to 49p as the Trevor Wheatley inspired revamp got underway. The shares were 146.5p in September, before estimated half year losses of pounds 27m became apparent. There are hopes of profits in the second half year. To help stabilise the company shares are being sold at 30p to raise pounds 32.1m. Mr Wheatley, former head of Control Techniques, becomes chairman, investing pounds 1.5m.
