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 Tavistock Clinic Foundation, formed in 1982, works for the well- being of children. One in 10 people annually suffers from mental illness. Ill parents, however well- meaning, can damage children, who in turn pass on their damage to further generations. The foundation's research is aimed at finding out what produces the best social and emotional climate for the growth of children: its practical and therapeutic interventions put this into practice. Such work has produced radical changes in national policy: children's care in hospitals and long-stay institutions has been altered for the better by allowing parents more access to their children. The foundation needs to raise pounds 2.5m to build a new lecture hall; to start up major research projects in autism, mental illness, mental handicap, congenital blindness and disaster work; and to update its library facilities.
Mrs Jill Walker, The Tavistock Clinic Foundation, Tavistock Centre, 120 Belsize Lane, London NW3 5BA, telephone 071-435 7111.
Pramacare provides care at home for disabled, sick and frail people of all ages living in south-east Dorset.
