Considering that nearly 90% of all NAS income comes from the government, where almost all of it is ring fenced for specific people, then it is clearly evident that the NAS is not really a charity in the traditional sense of the word and more of a government service provider. Therefore is it befitting and honourable that the NAS - or at least the side which chases public money - deregisters as a charity and converts itself into a business?
The concept of heavily government funded charities is an issue that I am planning on discussing with my MP. I am hoping that the issue is debated in Parliament and legislation enacted that will restrict how much money a charity can receive from the government. Any that wishes to receive more must convert into a business.
