"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."
"Dara O Briain has become the latest star to back The Independent's campaign to launch SafeCall, the vital lifeline for missing young people in crisis. The comedian and TV presenter urged the public to donate to the appeal, which reached more than 75,000 in donations over the weekend, as momentum builds behind efforts to set up the free, round-the-clock service."
"Throwing his support behind the campaign, Mr O Briain said: I'm proud to join The Independent and Missing People to support SafeCall, an urgently needed lifeline which will get children off the streets and into safety. That 70,000 young people go missing every year in the UK is a shocking fact and one that we can come together to change. With your help, children will no longer be alone, out of immediate danger and helped into safer futures."
The Independent combines on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech with investigations and documentaries. Donations support sending journalists to report from both sides and help maintain free access to reporting without paywalls. The publication is partnering with Missing People to launch SafeCall, a free 24/7 lifeline designed by and for young people to reach those at risk. The campaign aims to raise 165,000 to fund the service and has attracted public donations exceeding 75,000 over a weekend. Public figures have publicly backed the appeal to increase momentum and support.
