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.

Hull Arena will stage the inaugural play-off championships of the British National League over the weekend of 21 and 22 March.

The move is a joint venture between the League and Hull City Council Sports Development Unit, with pounds 17,000 in prize-money on offer, which includes pounds 5,000 to the winners. The weekend will also incorporate, for the first time, a special ceremony when the League's awards for the season will be presented.

The League chairman, John Brady, said: "It shows just how far the League has developed in such a short time and the weekend should prove an ideal launchpad for next season."
