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.My husband and I used to spend most of our income on fancy hotels. Then we had our daughters and discovered the delights of the all-inclusive family-friendly resort. They have everything you need: a puréed food buffet; a milk-warming room in every apartment block, usually full of bleary-eyed parents.
Club Med has a service called Baby Club where you hand over your baby at the gate – slightly traumatic the first time but brilliant when you realise they are fine and happy there while Mum and Dad sit on a sunlounger for a few hours, having drinks and reading a book. Then in the evening there's Baby Disco where all the kids learn a dance routine and the staff dress up in ridiculous costumes. I do love these holidays. That said, I wouldn't want to go to Butlins!
