Is anyone here getting any help from NAS ?

Paull

Does anyone here get actually get any help from NAS ?

My experience is you ask for help and they send you a bucketload of PDF'S of other organisations. Am I wrong to have expected more ?

The chief executive gets paid 140 grand a year, is it right that someone can live in luxury on that kind of salary from charitable donations ? Not even counting the other 20 people on stupid salaries comes to over 2 million quid ...no doubt plus expenses.

I thought charities existed to help others but obviously they are more interested in helping themselves.

  • Someone on JSA, perhaps someone with Aspergers who has lost their appeal for ESA because they didn't have a good advocate, gets £71 a week, or about £3,700 a year or about 10 days of the NAS CEO's salary.

    Words completely fail me.

    No they don't. I honestly could not live with myself, taking that amount of money for representing some of the most vulnerable people in the country. I could not look at myself in the mirror in the morning or sleep peacefully at night.

    That amount of money is morally wrong as compensation.

    I'm not blaming the current CEO but the NAS really needs to think about its mission and what it does as the above concerned comment by Paull makes clear. He shouldn't have to ask the question. It should be obvious.
