NAS - A charity or a business ?

Paull

NAS should be disbanded and replaced with a more accountable and transparent organisation that serves to help those with Autism, not those that run the organisation. Please sign my petition.

    Can you tell me where you found that information? I am a 'member' of another charity and would be interested to know information about that one too.

    I found it on the Fake Charities website. The entry for the National Autistic Society says that "This charity receives around 90% of its income from the state — from the provision of services that are paid for by local government".

    The statement of accounts for the NAS details income and expenditure. On page 12 it states "Fee income, mainly from statutory bodies for delivery of services, accounted for 89% (89.1% in 2009/10) of income – that is £81.2m (£78.7m in 2009/10)". In other words, money from the government. On page 13 it states "Voluntary funding for the year stood at £7.5m (£6.8m in 2009/10) and careful controls remained in place so that the total cost of generating that income fell to £2m in 2010/11 (£2.2m in 2009/10)". This means that a paltry £5.5m of the total £91.3m income of the NAS comes from voluntary donations after factoring out the costs of collection and processing.
