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.

Sir: A great deal of space and time is being given to telephone banking and other developments likely to lead to the closure of high-street banks, but I have yet to see any mention of the future of a very important service which these establishments provide: providing safe storage for valuable items such as jewellery and confidential papers.

Many thousands of people are prepared to pay a small fee to ensure that items such as these are safe but reasonably accessible. Will someone please tell us whether this service will still be available in the future, and if so how it will be provided?
