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.A READER from Oxfordshire requested suggestions for a suitable Christmas holiday for himself and his six-year-old son.
Jennifer Cuming of Whitstable, Kent writes to recommend the Youth Hostels Association Christmas and New Year Break brochure. Further information: YHA, Trevelyan House, 8 St Stephen's Hill, St Albans AL1 2DY (0727 55215).
Another reader suggests that Adventure Holidays 1992 (Vacation Work, pounds 4.95) might be a useful source of ideas. It offers a guide to thousands of activity holidays in Britain and 100 countries around the world.
Clodagh Wilkinson of London suggests skiing, skating or swiming. 'Winter sports at Christmas are expensive and father may not care for the after-ski activities, but the days would be fun.'
She commends Eilat on Israel's Red Sea. 'There is wonderful clean warm water, snorkelling, an aquarium and reliable midwinter sun - and being a Judaic country he wouldn't be surrounded by unwelcome reminders of 'traditional' Christmasses.'
