Strategy

So, I filled in the NAS' Strategy questionnaire the other day.

Does anyone really know what (if anything) the NAS actually do (in terms of charitable stuff, rather than LA/gov funded schools/care homes)?

I wrote in the survey that it is not clear what they do, other than provide a web forum where they routinely tell people to contact the Samaritans instead.
