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.

Blue Circle warned yesterday that its 1995 figures would be hit by a pounds 63m provision to restructure its heating and bathrooms businesses, together with the underperforming home products division. The impact of the exceptional charge should be mitigated, however, by a one-off pounds 55m profit from the sale of the company's landfill operation. The creation of centres of excellence for its different boiler and radiator products in the UK, France and Germany follows a review announced in September and the departure of Charles Young, the division's pounds 193,000-a-year chief executive.
