'Our goal with everything we do is to reduce suffering and make a difference'
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.Money raised from The Independent's Christmas appeal will fund vital research into palliative care for children across the whole of the UK, an area that is often neglected.
This work is spearheaded by Professor Myra Bluebond-Langner, who heads the centre’s team of researchers and is dedicated to improving clinical practice and policy for children everywhere.
She said: “Paediatric palliative care is a relatively new field where practice has outstripped research.
"We look to change that. We need to provide an evidence base for all that we do for these seriously ill children and their families - and also for policy decisions. Our goal with everything we do is to reduce suffering and make a difference."
