The type of journalism you will be supporting
Undecided? Here’s a snapshot of some of the work we have published recently that shows exactly why this kind of journalism matters.
Our recent investigation into the government’s new asylum policies revealed how refugees are being pushed into homelessness, leaving people who have just been granted safety suddenly destitute and, in some cases, vulnerable to far-right targeting.
Just this week, our Budget coverage – helmed by our Westminster Editor Zoë Grünewald – examined Rachel Reeves’ first fiscal plan, with a close and critical eye on what these decisions mean for real families. Yes, scrapping the two-child benefit cap was a huge win, but technocratic tweaks are not enough when the foundations of the system remain profoundly unequal.
When it comes to public institutions, The Lead tries to offer clarity where confusion reigns. Our recent The Lead Untangles on the future of the BBC cut through the noise surrounding funding, political pressure, and the role of public broadcasting.
We’ve continued to report on injustice at home too, including a powerful examination of how poverty and racism intersect as part of our ongoing campaign to end child poverty. With our National Editor Natalie Morris digging in to how Black and brown children are disproportionately affected by rising hardship, and why this crucial inequality is so often erased from the conversation.
And last week, we revisited our coverage of the SEND crisis in education, revealing how securing the right support for children in mainstream schooling has become a brutal and exhausting fight for parents.
