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.

  • Well this forum is a lifeline. It no doubt helps people with mental ill health, such as myself. Are you not being a little harsh on the NAS? I agree that no-one should be paid that amount of money, and I agree that the NAS has many failings, and needs to do better on many counts. But the fact you are using this forum shows that you are benefiting from an invaluable service, so it is a tad ironic that you are so black and white in your extreme criticism of the organization.
