"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."
"To boost the spending power of those most in need, many organisations now offer support and discounts outside of benefits administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Several of these do not even require an active benefit award to be eligible. Local councils, energy firms, water providers, the NHS and more all have means of support on offer to help people ensure the essentials are provided for."
The Independent sends journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting while keeping content paywall-free. The outlet emphasizes investigative work, documentaries, and presenting both sides of stories to a politically broad audience. Millions of low-income and universal credit households in the UK are missing out on potentially thousands of pounds in hidden benefits and support. Research by Policy in Practice estimates more than 7.5 million people will miss out on 24bn worth of benefits and support in 2025-2026. Causes of underclaiming include lack of awareness, complexity, and stigma. Local councils, energy firms, water providers, and the NHS offer additional support, some without requiring active benefit awards.
