Charities lose out
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.The number of people giving to charity in December and January slumped to its lowest level since the National Lottery began over a year ago, an NOP survey for the National Council for Voluntary Organisations showed. Since the launch, people donating through charities' own raffles and lotteries fell from 30 per cent to 14 per cent, those giving to street collections was down from 29 per cent to 21 per cent, while door-to-door donations were down from 28 per cent to 20 per cent.
Four tickets shared Saturday's pounds 8.9m National Lottery jackpot. The winning numbers were: 2, 5, 7, 24, 35, and 44. The bonus ball was 30.
