The Independent covers major topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, sending journalists to developing stories and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations fund on-the-ground reporting and enable coverage without paywalls, keeping journalism accessible and supported by those who can afford it. Thousands of UK parents are urged to claim child benefit worth £1,354 per year before a looming deadline. Child benefit stops automatically when a child turns 16 but can be extended for 16–19-year-olds in education; eligible courses include A-levels, T Levels, Scottish Highers, NVQs up to level 3, and qualifying home education. Parents must apply by 31 August to continue payments.
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.
Thousands of parents in the UK have been urged to ensure they are claiming a benefit worth a 1,354 a year as a crucial deadline looms. Child benefit is paid to millions of parents in the UK to help towards the cost of raising a child. It automatically stops after the child turns 16 but it can be extended if they are still in education. HMRC has warned all parents who may be eligible for an extension to apply by the 31 August deadline, otherwise they might miss out.
