The crisis hidden in plain sight' facing 1.5 million Brits this Christmas
"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."
"More than a million older people in the UK could be spending Christmas Day alone, according to research by Age UK. A poll of more than 2,600 people aged 65 and over suggested 11 per cent will eat dinner alone on December 25, while 5 per cent will not see or speak to anyone during the entire day. When considered in terms of the overall population, the data suggest 1.5 million people will eat alone on Christmas Day."
The Independent deploys reporters to cover major issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations enable continued on-the-ground reporting and allow the outlet to remain paywall-free so journalism is accessible to all and funded by those who can afford it. Age UK research indicates over a million older people in the UK could be alone on Christmas Day, with 11% of surveyed over-65s expecting to eat alone and 5% expecting no contact. Celebrities and volunteers support campaigns to provide companionship and festive events.
