The Independent requests donations to fund journalists covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and to produce investigations and documentaries like 'The A Word'. Donations enable on-the-ground reporting and keep journalism free of paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. Citizens Advice found millions across the UK suffered sleepless nights, higher bills, and deteriorating health this summer because homes were ill-equipped for four heatwaves over 30C. Nearly half (47%) reported difficulty sleeping; 11% experienced health declines; 13% faced higher cooling bills; 34% struggled to keep homes cool overall, rising to 40% for renters, with 32% unable to afford fans or air conditioning.
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.
Millions across the UK suffered sleepless nights, higher bills, and deteriorating health this summer due to homes ill-equipped for soaring temperatures, Citizens Advice has found. The charity's survey revealed the widespread impact of four heatwaves, all exceeding 30C. Almost half of Britons (47 per cent) reported difficulty sleeping. Beyond discomfort, 11 per cent experienced deteriorating health, while 14 per cent felt stressed about the heat's impact on themselves or household members, with 8 per cent noting a negative health effect on someone in their home.
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.
