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 Albanian Musicians Trust plans to take a van filled with printed music, records and musical instruments, to Albania on Saturday 2 April and needs pounds 2,000 to pay for the cost of the trip. Albania, one of the poorest countries in Europe, with a population of 3 million, has 29 music schools, one for each of the country's districts and one music conservatory, in Tirana, which gives a higher education in music. All the schools have an urgent shortage of resources, including modern music scores, textbooks in modern composition, recording material and even photocopying equipment. The charity is delivering the contents of the van to the conservatory, a music school and a writers' and artists' league in Tirana; and to music schools in Shkoder, Korce, Durres and Elbasan.
Albanian Musicians Trust, Windmill Farm, Ampleforth, North Yorkshire YO6 4HF, telephone 04393 539.
